Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 15-40
The Charlotte Hornets’ disappointing campaign continues and doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon, coming into this game in the midst of a streak of five consecutive losses and occupying second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Pistons by just one win.
The Hornets’ most recent loss was on Wednesday at home to the Washington Wizards in a game that went into halftime with the score even, but the home team dominated the second half to end with a 104-119 win. P.J. Washington was the leading scorer for the Hornets in that game with 20 points.
While they have lost in their last six away games, the Hornets seem to enjoy being on the road a bit more than at home, as they have recorded more wins away from home (7) than at home (8).
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Regular Season Record: 39-16
The Boston Celtics continue to be the best team in the NBA, comfortably leading the Eastern Conference and owning the best record in the league. The Celtics come here after recovering from a tough stretch, winning four of their last five games, but with only 1.5 games separating them from their closest rival, they know they can’t relax just yet.
Joe Mazzulla’s team will enter this game after facing the the Philadelphia 76ers last Wednesday.The match was very close from start to finish, and even with up to 4 starters out for Boston (with Jaylen Brown leaving the game due to a facial fracture), they were able to prevail in the end by a score of 99-106,with up to six of its players scoring at least 12 points.
The Celtics offense has been one of the best all season, averaging 117.4 points scored per game (fifth best in the NBA), and they have also been very solid defensively, allowing an average of 111.4 points per game (sixth best in the league).
JefeBet Prediction
One of the Hornets’ main problem this campaign has been their defense, which averages 118.6 points allowed per game, something that an offense as strong as the Celtics’ will surely know how to take advantage of, as it did in their three previous meetings.
On top of that, the Hornets have also failed to be effective on offense, averaging 111.9 points scored, so they won’t have an easy night on that front either against a home defense that has shown to be very strong, especially when they are home.
With the Celtics’ three wins over the Hornets coming by more than 10 points, the level of the two being totally different and Boston being at home, we expect them to be the ones who dominate things until the end and take a resounding victory.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Spread.
