The Boston Celtics are at home on Sunday night as they host the Orlando Magic in an Eastern Conference showdown.
Boston enters Sunday’s game with a 55-26 record after defeating the New Orleans Pelicans at home in dominant fashion on Friday night.
In Friday’s victory over the Pelicans, Sam Hauser led the way for the Celtics as he recorded 24 points, six rebounds and four assists while Payton Pritchard added 21 points, three rebounds and 10 assists of his own off the bench.
Now Boston will try to end the regular season with another victory as they face off against the Magic in a tough home matchup.
On the other side, Orlando enters Sunday’s contest with a 45-36 record after defeating the Chicago Bulls on the road on Friday night.
Franz Wagner led the way for the Magic in Friday’s victory as he ended the game with 25 points and four assists while Jamal Cain recorded 20 points and eight rebounds off the bench.
While both teams are looking to pick up a victory in Sunday night’s matchup, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.
For the Magic, they have two players listed on their injury report, including both Jett Howard and Jonathan Isaac.
Orlando has listed Howard as questionable due to a left ankle sprain and he is in danger of missing his fifth consecutive contest.
