Their last meeting was on 23 October 2022 in a match which took place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, USA.
 
The Celtics defeated the Magic 126-120 thanks to huge games from Jayson Tatum (40 points, 8 rebounds) and Derrick White (27 points, 4 boards, 4 assists).
 
The Celtics are still placed at the top of the Eastern Conference standings having registered 21 victories and six defeats from 27 matches.
 
Meanwhile, the Magic find themselves 13th on the Eastern Conference standings having recorded eight wins and 20 defeats from 28 games.
 
The Magic beat the Toronto Raptors 111-99 on Monday morning, December 12 night for their third straight win in the NBA.
 
“You put three games in a row — I think we’re headed in the right direction,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. 
 
“We’re asking our guys to defend at a high level, which they did. We’re asking them to move the basketball, which they did.
 
"And to stay poised down the stretch which they’ve done.”
