The defending NBA Champions are back in action on Friday, Jan. 17 when the Boston Celtics host the Orlando Magic at TD Garden in Boston.

After a tough loss on the road their last time out, the Celtics look much better today on their home court. They have jumped out to a quick 35-28 lead against the Magic. The Celtics came into the match with some extra motivation after the defeat they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off.

BOSTON – The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics do battle for the second time this season Friday evening. Tipoff between the two Eastern Conference foes is at 7 p.m. ET from TD Garden. Each team will be looking to bounce back after uncharacteristic losses. But, one team will be much healthier when attempting to do so.
