Celtics set for Magic amid eight-game, 13-night stretch

Boston enters Sunday’s road game against Orlando riding a four-game winning streak after opening the season with a loss, while the Magic are 2-3 and coming off a comeback win over Toronto. Payton Pritchard has fueled Boston’s recent run with back-to-back 28- and 30-point performances, and coach Joe Mazzulla has praised his growth on both ends of the floor. Orlando is expected to be without Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs and several other players because of injuries; the matchup also begins a demanding stretch for Boston, which faces eight games in 13 nights.
