Advice and prediction
The Celtics just lost to an Oklahoma City team that had lost 14 consecutive games, but will only be missing Kemba Walker on Wednesday, while the Hornets will still be missing the trio of Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk.
Still, the Hornets’ absences didn’t matter on Sunday, when Charlotte led by 10 after the first quarter and outscored the Celtics 25-16 in the fourth quarter. And now a Celtics team that has gone 1-4 against the spread over their last four is laying seven points after playing just 24 hours ago? This is a great spot for Charlotte. Take the Hornets +7.
Prediction: Celtics 117, Hornets 114
