Magic Johnson Predicts Winner Of Celtics-Magic Series

Before the game, Los Angeles Lakers legend (and Basketball Hall of Famer) Magic Johnson made his prediction.

Johnson's post had over 4,000 likes and 500,000 impressions.

He wrote: "I’m also picking the Celtics over the Magic for their series. I want to say sweep but I’m thinking the Magic may squeeze out one win."

Many people commented on Johnson's post.

@MTBSLG: "Magic are better than pple give them credit for - series goes to 6 or 7"

@DeeJayCantStop: "If Boston lets this go more than 5 they will hurt their chances to get to the finals. They need to keep their Playoff games down."

@TeddyVegasCohn: "I think the Magic Might be better than people suspect and that the series might go six or seven games. Banchero and F Wagner are a pretty formidable duo."

@Palmierijoe13: "I’m a Celtics fan and I got Boston in 6 I think they will lose a game where they can’t make a single shot and another where they just half a** it lol 4-
4-2 light work"

The Celtics (61-21) are the second seed in the Eastern Conference after another outstanding regular season.

They are also 28-13 in 41 games on their home floor in Boston.

Game 2 of the series will be on Wednesday night (also in Boston).
