The Boston Celtics (58-16) take on the Charlotte Hornets (18-56) Monday. Tip-off from Spectrum Center is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Charlotte leads 1-0 after a 121-118 home win Nov. 20

Boston picked up a 104-92 win over the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday while covering as a 6-point road favorite. The Celtics lost the turnover battle 13-9, but they outrebounded the Pelicans 51-41. Saturday’s win ended a 2-game skid for the Celtics.

Charlotte was handed a 130-118 loss by the LA Clippers Sunday, covering as a 14-point home underdog. F Miles Bridges put up 33 points, but that wasn’t enough for the Hornets to overcome G/F Paul George and his 41 points or the Clippers’ 57.3% shooting from the field. The Hornets have dropped back-to-back games.

Celtics at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 126, Hornets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

Boston (-2200) should easily come away with the win, but the Celtics are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites.

Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET CELTICS -17 (-110).

Boston has covered the spread in 3 of its last 5 road games and is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 overall. The Celtics are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 matchups vs. the Hornets. Boston has been the better team ATS this season at 39-32-3, while the Hornets are 29-45.

Be aware that there is always a fair amount of risk when backing a team that is favored so heavily, especially with how Boston can be unpredictable with blowing leads.

Over/Under

BET OVER 218.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 5 of Boston’s last 6 games and is 7-2-1 in its last 10.

For Charlotte, the Over is 4-1 in its last 5 games. The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Boston-Charlotte matchups and is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Be aware that the Over/Under numbers have been very even for these squads this season.

Prediction

Celtics 116, Hornets 104

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Celtics should pick up this win comfortable even as the away team. They just beat the Hornets on Saturday and are riding hot in the last week. The Celtics are also 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these 2 teams in Charlotte.

Against the spread

LEAN CELTICS -8 (-102).

The Celtics are 21-6-1 ATS in the last 28 meetings with Charlotte while the Hornets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following the loss. Pair that with the winning streak of the Celtics and the losing streak of Charlotte and the trends should continue in this game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).

In the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams the under is 4-1. All trends are leaning toward the under being safer for this game as it has been throughout the last few season series between these teams. The under is 8-2 in their last 10 Monday games and 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. teams with losing records.

Prediction

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics (-320) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 3 times your potential profit when Boston should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET CELTICS -7.5 (-115).

Boston has covered in back-to-back games and is 12-7 ATS as a road favorite. The Hornets are 29th in offensive efficiency and should struggle to score vs. the Celtics who are 2nd in opponent points per game over the last 3 contests (103.7). Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-112).

The Under is 6-2 in Boston’s last 8 games after covering in its previous game and 5-1 in Charlotte’s last 6 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. These teams have played low-scoring games vs. each other over the last year, and the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Boston Celtics at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Boston Celtics at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boston Celtics (39-27) will go their fourth straight win when they visit the Charlotte Hornets (32-34) on Wednesday night. Tip-off from Spectrum Center will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Celtics vs. Hornets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Celtics are fresh off two days of rest after beating the Nets 126-120 Sunday. They covered the 5.5-point spread as favorites, their third straight win outright and third straight against the spread (ATS). The Celtics sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, two games behind the second-seeded Philadelphia 76ers. Boston is one of the hottest teams in the league, winning eight of their last 10 games.

The Hornets’ last game was also against the Nets, a 132-121 loss Tueaday to Brooklyn. At one point, they were down 32 points to Brooklyn but battled back to nearly pull within double-digits in the fourth quarter. Charlotte had no answer for PG Kyrie Irving, who scored 50 points – 20 more than SG Terry Rozier and SF Miles Bridges each had.

Celtics at Hornets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 119, Hornets 110

Money line

The Celtics are fully healthy right now and playing some of their best basketball, with 6 of their last 7 wins coming by at least nine points. They did lose to the Pacers and Pistons as comfortable favorites, but they’re also blowing teams out.

I like the Celtics to win tonight but I’m going to bet on them to cover the spread instead of the money line. The Celtics ML is worth adding to a parlay, though. But as a single play, PASS.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

In their last 10 games, the Celtics are 6-4 ATS. They’re also 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games against the Hornets dating back to 2019. They’re 3-0 ATS in their last three games compared to the Hornets’ 2-3 ATS record in their last five.

Charlotte had no answer for Irving last night and they might have trouble containing PG Marcus Smart, SG Jaylen Brown and SF Jayson Tatum. Bet the CELTICS -6.5 (-120) to cover.

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in each of the last two games played by the Celtics and Hornets. They’ve each scored at least 120 points in their last two games, finding success offensively.

Pair that with the Hornets’ deficiencies on defense and this could be a higher-scoring game. Bet the OVER 225.5 (-112).

Charlotte Hornets at Boston Celtics odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Charlotte Hornets at Boston Celtics NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Charlotte Hornets (30-31) will be back on the East Coast Wednesday as they visit the Boston Celtics (32-30) at TD Garden. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hornets-Celtics odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hornets are coming off a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, falling 114-104. It snapped their two-game winning streak after the Hornets topped the Cavs and Celtics in their previous two games.

Their win over Boston on Sunday was a 21-point victory after coming in as 8-point underdogs.

The Celtics were stunned on their home floor Wednesday, losing 119-115 to the Thunder, who had lost their last 14 games.

It’s Boston’s third consecutive loss, with the last two coming as at least 8-point favorites.

The Celtics were without PG Kemba Walker and SF Jayson Tatum, but they should not have lost to the lowly Thunder.

Hornets at Celtics: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Celtics 115, Hornets 112

Money line (ML)

It was just three days ago that the Hornets crushed the Celtics, 125-104. I don’t expect another 21-point blowout, but I do like Charlotte’s chances on the road.

Boston is still missing Walker and though Tatum will play, I think this will be a close game. The Celtics should win a close one, but I’m not confident enough in them to bet on the money line. I would PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

Neither team has covered the spread very often lately, with the Hornets going 3-7 ATS in their last 10 and Boston failing to cover four times in its last five.

With Charlotte getting 7 points, I like its chances to cover against the struggling Celtics, who have lost their last three games outright as the favorites.

Take the HORNETS +7 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under sits at 216.5 points, which is only a point less than the total for Celtics-Thunder last night. The total went over that number easily, and I think the same will be true tonight.

Even though Walker is out and Ball remains sidelined, bet the OVER 216.5 (-115) in this Eastern Conference tilt.
