The Orlando Magic (3-5) will rely on their trademark defensive strength when they host the Boston Celtics (4-5) at the Kia Center on Friday for an NBA Cup matchup. The game is scheduled for November 7, 2025, at 7:00 pm ET / 4:00 pm PT.
Boston has begun to find consistency, winning four of their last six games. They recently dominated the Washington Wizards 136-107 at home.
"The Celtics appear to be clicking offensively and will aim to keep that momentum rolling into Orlando."
The Magic were gaining ground with back-to-back wins but stumbled in their latest outing, losing 127-112 to Atlanta on the road. Orlando will look to restore the defensive intensity that has been key to their identity in recent seasons.
The Orlando Magic will count on defense against a Raptors team building momentum, with fans able to watch the game live on NBCS-BOS, FDSFL, and Fubo.
