Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Game 3 NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions: After stunning the sports betting odds favorites to win the NBA title, the (2-0) Boston Celtics [-4] have keep the momentum going, shocking the (0-2) Orlando Magic [+4] and taking the first two games of their series on the road. With this best-of-seven Eastern Conference Final series shifting over to Bean Town for Games 3 and 4, the Magic must solve the Celtics gameplan.

Game 3 of this series has a scheduled opening tipoff slated for tonight at 8:30 PM ET (7:30 PM CT/5:30 PM PT) Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Game 3 NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictionsfrom the TD Garden in Boston, Mass., and it will be broadcasted live in high definition on ESPN. These teams combined to score 180 points in game 1 and 187 in game 2. For tonight’s Game 3, NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions experts at SPORTSBETTING.com have set their OVER/UNDER mark at a combined total of 190 points.

For the defending Eastern Conference champs, this is not a time to panic, but this game will certainly be looked at as a must-win. “We've won there before, and there's no reason we can't do it again,” Magic forward Rashard Lewis said. “Boston came to us and beat us twice on our home court, so it's happened before. Why can't we do it? Why can't it happen again?”

Going down 0-3 in this series would pretty much seal Orlando’s chances to repeat as conference champs, as the odds certainly would not be in their favor. “Those are daunting numbers, and I think those numbers are maybe good for gamblers and oddsmakers,” said Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy. “But they don't really mean anything to you. Unless it affects your game plan and how you're going to play, what do you do with that? What is the implication in terms of how we would play? The answer is: nothing.”

Looking for any sort of extra motivation and inspiration, some of the Magic players are using accomplishments in other sports as a mean of hope. “Those guys on the Flyers were counted out and look what they did,” said Magic guard Jameer Nelson. “The Flyers believed in themselves and we believe, too. You've got to believe.”
