JefeBet Prediction
For this Celtics vs Hornets clash, we think that the Celtics will win this game. Their results in recent games have been outstanding, and their record shows that their offense is tremendously effective. The Hornets, on the other hand, suffer in most games after the second quarter and have been unable to beat the Boston team for several games now.
Prediction: Boston Celtics win by 12 points.
