The Boston Celtics saw their 16 game winning streak come to an end in Miami last time out. It is easy to maintain intensity when you're a streaking team, playing and feeding off the energy provided by keeping the streak alive. It is very difficult to come out with the same type of energy after a long streak comes to an end. The Celtics are 16-3 on the season, despite the loss of Gordon Hayward for the season. They are going to take every team's best shot that they go up against. Orlando is on a streak of their own, but not a good one, as the Magic has dropped six straight. They did show something positive last time out, shooting over 50% for the game. Nothing can wake up a team playing poorly better than getting a shot at the team with the best record in the league at home. Take the points on Orlando.
