After recording back-to-back impressive wins, the visiting Charlotte Hornets look to carry the momentum into a tough matchup against the streaking Orlando Magic on Sunday.

Orlando brings a six-game winning streak into the contest following a 113-96 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday. At 11-5, Orlando is off to its best start since 2011-12.

Charlotte struggled early this season without suspended star Miles Bridges, but the past two games have provided a glimpse of the team's potential.

The Hornets rallied from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Celtics in overtime on Monday before recording another comeback victory on Wednesday, when they beat the Washington Wizards 117-114.
