A major part as to as whether the Boston Celtics' current hot streak can continue relies on one thing that has haunted the team this season, injuries to key starters, and one in particular, Al Horford.
Horford has missed seven of the fourteen games, Celtics have played this month so far. This has been due to patellofemoral pain syndrome in his left knee, something that Al and the team's medical staff has been aware of since the start of the season.
