ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic looks to extend its win streak to seven games as it hosts the Southeast Division rival Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night at the Amway Center.

The Magic is coming off an emotional, statement-building win on Black Friday against the Eastern Conference top seed Boston Celtics. But now, Orlando faces a different type of test in the Hornets, who have won their past two games, including a game against the Celtics.

The Hornets have gotten a boost with the return of Miles Bridges, and Terry Rozier is expected to return to the lineup after a two-week absence with a groin injury. Simply put, this is the healthiest the Hornets have been all season, and they will look to take some confidence away from the Magic.
