Boston Celtics – Orlando Magic: AI prediction & pick

The match is extremely balanced according to Monte Carlo simulations and betting odds, with a minimal advantage for the Celtics as the home team. The ELO rating suggests Celtics dominance, which contradicts current data, so it was ignored in favor of the simulation. Due to the rarity of draws in the NBA and low historical accuracy in 1X2 bets, the draw probability was significantly reduced, and the points were distributed equally between home and away teams. The Magic's long rest period could be a negative factor.
