The NBA is inching closer to the end of the regular season, but there are still plenty of betting opportunities. Our analysts -- Doug Kezirian (24-12), Joe Fortenbaugh (11-12), Andre Snellings (50-30-1), Tyler Fulghum (24-26) and Anita Marks (14-7) -- are here to give their best bets from Wednesday's nine-game slate.

Wednesday's games
Boston Celtics (-9, 218.5) at Orlando Magic
Fortenbaugh: This matchup features two teams that find themselves in very different situations, as the Magic will be playing their fourth game in six nights while the Celtics have been off since falling by 10 points to Portland on Sunday. Additionally, the Magic have very little left to play for with a record of 21-44, as opposed to a Boston club that currently owns the seventh seed in the East and would love nothing more than to avoid the Association's new play-in playoff format. The Magic rank dead last in first-half scoring (50.8 PPG) and 28th in first-half scoring differential (-5.1), so I'm betting the Celtics jump all over Orlando in the opening 24 minutes.
