About these numbers

Full 2025-26 regular season (last season), captured before tip-off. League rank in small type (30 teams); the gold side ranks higher. Bars show rank, longest = 1st. Source: Gridiron & Wine public Analytics tables.

Last five results this season, oldest to newest. Records are season to date, with home and road splits. Against-the-spread (ATS) and over–under records use the consensus closing line.

Margin of each of the last 10 games this season, oldest to newest (gold = won). Hover a bar for the score margin.

Distance is a straight-line estimate from each team's home arena, not the team's actual itinerary; time-zone change is at game time. Days of rest are full days off since each team's previous game this season (0 = back-to-back); preseason games do not count. Schedule facts only: no fatigue adjustment is applied.

Key players only. Injury report as of November 1, 7:50 a.m. ET.

Last season (2025-26), the Celtics scored 114.8 points per game (19th of 30) and allowed 107.2 (1st). The Magic scored 115.5 points per game (15th of 30) and allowed 114.5 (12th).

Net rating, the offensive minus defensive rating: Celtics +8.0 (4th), Magic +0.6 (17th).
