It’s Sunday, April 13, and the Charlotte Hornets (19-62) and Boston Celtics (60-21) are all set to square off from TD Garden in Boston.
The Hornets are currently 7-33 on the road with a point differential of -9, while the Celtics have an 8-2 record in their last ten games at home. Boston is 3-0 against Charlotte this season with double-digit wins in every meeting.
Boston is firmly in the second seed of the East, while Charlotte holds the second-worst record in the East and the third-worst overall record. Neither team will play its starters for the full amount of minutes and a win or loss doesn't impact either team.
We’ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on how to catch tipoff, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.

"Boston just destroyed Charlotte 130-94 thanks to a massive second half, but I don't see that happening again. All three Celtics wins came by double-digits and after that 36-point win, the spread for this game has moved down. There's no incentive for either side, so I lean Charlotte to cover."
