Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 12, 2026

Baylor Scheierman's 30 points and seven assists powered Boston's balanced offensive attack, and the Celtics leaned on their depth to hold off Orlando in a second-half grind that pushed the game well above the market expectation. The combined total finished at 221, clearing the 216.5 pregame line by 4.5 points—a decisive OVER that validated DAGGER's pregame call, despite a missed live adjustment along the way.

The game's arc told a story of early pace followed by defensive tightening. Orlando and Boston combined for 49 points in the first quarter, then exploded in the second half with a 64-point Q2—the game's highest-scoring frame. That explosive middle pushed the combined halves to 113 in the first half and 108 in the second, signaling a sharp deceleration after the break. The third quarter settled at 62 combined points, and the fourth contracted further to just 46, as both teams slowed dramatically down the stretch. Luka Garza added 27 points and 12 rebounds for Boston, while Ron Harper Jr. chipped in 27 points and seven rebounds. For Orlando, Paolo Banchero posted a triple-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists, and Jalen Suggs matched Scheierman's 23-point output with six rebounds and three assists. Franz Wagner contributed 20 points for the Magic. Boston's recent scoring average of 120.2 per game and Orlando's defensive struggles (119.8 allowed per game over the last ten) set the table for an over-the-total result, though the fourth-quarter slowdown nearly kept this closer than pregame models anticipated.
