The Orlando Magic are gearing up for the boost from hosting NBA Playoff games downtown.

The Magic will return to the Kia Center on April 25 for Game 3 of its First Round Series against the Boston Celtics. The 7 p.m. matchup is the first of two guaranteed home games in the opening round for the Magic, who will see more if the series goes longer and if they advance further in the playoffs.
