Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic

Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

BOS +5.5 (+164), ORL -5.5 (-198)
Game Total: 208

Key Storylines

B2B: There are 11 Teams on a back-to-back on Wednesday from Tuesday, which will impact players’ availability this close to the end of the season. The Celtics will most likely give the night off to a few starters after playing in an overtime game vs. the Knicks on Tuesday. Players such as Payton Pritchard, Luke Kornet and Sam Hauser could all get a significant boost on Wednesday depending on who is available for the Celtics.

Update: Tatum, Porzingis, Holiday, White and Horford are out while Brown is questionable.

Big W: The Magic are coming off a key victory vs. the Hawks on Tuesday and have opened up a two-game gap for the seven seed in the Eastern Conference. Franz Wagner logged 40 minutes, while Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. both played 37 minutes. It would not be surprising to see a similar distribution of minutes on Wednesday with the Magic just two wins away from securing home-court advantage throughout the Play-In.

Stream of the Game

Assuming the Celtics will be shorthanded on Wednesday, Luke Kornet and Payton Pritchard would be the priorities.

Alternatives: Sam Hauser and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Baylor Scheierman, Cory Joseph and Anthony Black (deep formats).

Philadelphia 76ers @ Washington Wizards

Game Time:  7:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

PHI -1 (-120), WAS +1 (+100)
Game Total: 226

Key Storylines

Stream in Bona: Guerschon Yabusele will remain out on Wednesday, which could result in another start for Adem Bona at the five (he has also started next to Yabu recently). Bona produced a double-double last time out as a starter and can produce when given the opportunity.

Sarr: It has been an up-and-down season for rookie Alex Sarr, who has really struggled shooting the basketball both from the field and from the line throughout most of the season. Sarr has provided some value in standard leagues due to his ability to generate blocks at a good rate, averaging 1.5 blocks per contest on the season, but the rest of his game has been underwhelming.

Stream of the Game

The previously mentioned Adem Bona is a strong streaming option for big-man stats.
