Hornets host Celtics as Boston carries better form
Charlotte is on a rough run. They have lost all 5 of their last 5 games, by an average of 14.4 points. Across the past 3 weeks they scored 97.3 points per game and allowed 110.4. That is a hard stretch for the Hornets.
Boston has been the steadier side. They won 4 of their last 5, with an average margin of plus 3.4. In the same stretch they put up 110.7 points per game and gave up 108.1. Their NBA record reads 10 wins and 2 losses, good for 3rd in the Eastern Conference.
Brandon Miller leads Charlotte at 23.0 points per game, with Naz Reid adding 15.9 and 8.0 rebounds. For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum averages 25.5 points and 6.8 assists, while Paul George adds 15.7 points. Boston has won 2 of the last 3 meetings, including 113-102 in April.
Both teams had 2 days off, so rest is even. Charlotte opens a 2-game home stand, Boston starts a 4-game road trip. The ratings are 1615 for Boston and 1468 for Charlotte, and both rest on a lot of games, so they are well settled.
The model picks Boston, giving them a 66% chance against 34% for Charlotte. The expected margin is 4.2 points and the expected total is 213.2. Confidence is a fair edge, not a blowout call. See the Hornets vs Celtics page for the full picture.
What could go wrong? Charlotte is at home and Miller can carry a scoring night. Boston is also starting a long road trip, which can soften a team early. The model favours Boston, but this is not a sure thing. If you play, bet small.
