Orlando meets Boston for third time in November

The Orlando Magic (10-7) look to continue their surge that has featured a pair of wins over New York in a run of six wins in seven games. The Boston Celtics (8-8) take the court for this Sunday early-evening showdown hoping to rebound from a disappointing loss to the last-place Brooklyn Nets despite multiple days off. 

The Magic are opening a three-game road trip that will continue in Philadelphia and Detroit, where they’ll hope to improve on a 3-4 road record. Last time they played outside of Orlando,  a three-game win streak was snapped in overtime by the Rockets, who got a last-second shot from Alperen Sengun to force an extra session. 

The Celtics suffered their worst loss of the season on Friday against the same Nets team they had beaten at Barclays Center mid-week to climb above .500 for the first time in 2025-26. Boston and Orlando are playing what is already their third meeting of the season, having split two games over a three-day span at Kia Center on Nov. 7-9. Jaylen Brown led the C’s in scoring both times and has paced them in 13 of 16 games this season. 

Orlando is 58-77 all-time against the Celtics during the regular season, having lost 10 matchups against them between Jan. 2020-Oct. 2022. Paolo Banchero committed six of Orlando’s 17 turnovers in the most recent matchup, but led the way with 28 points prior to suffering a groin strain that continues to keep him sidelined.
