The Orlando Magic are set to lock horns with the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, April 9, at Kia Center in Orlando. The Hawks, seeded seventh in the East with a 39-40 tally, are on a three-game winning streak. In their previous fixture, they took down the Atlanta Hawks 119-112. Having clinched the play-in spot, the Magic are in remarkable form, and handed a significant loss to the Los Angeles Lakers a few matches ago.

On the other hand, the Boston Celtics, seeded second in the East with a 59-20 tally, recorded a 119-117 win over the New York Knicks in their last match. They will enter the upcoming game on the back of a three-game winning streak, and will aim to extend it to four before playing their last two regular season games against the Hornets.

The Celtics have displayed dominance throughout the season, and they are set to enter the 2025 playoffs for the eleventh consecutive season, maintaining the longest streak in the NBA. Moreover, they are 33-7 on the road, and a win over the Magic will lead them to match the best regular season record in NBA history at 34-7, set by the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

As the Magic are set to host the Celtics host the Magic on Wednesday, April 9, here is the injury report for both the teams-
