Charlotte are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against Boston.
Charlotte are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games on the road.
Charlotte are 1-11 SU in their last 12 games when playing on the road against Boston.

Boston are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

Prediction
The Hornets continue to lose games and are on a 5 game losing streak. They have an awful 8-24 record on the road and are still missing Oubre due to injury. The Celtics have won 4 of their last 5 games and have a great record at home but they'll be missing Jaylen Brown after a face injury in the last game and it's uncertain if Tatum will be availablewith Marcus Smart still out. It's hard to trust the Hornets but these are a lot of points to cover for the Celtics without their best shooters. Give me the Hornets with the points.
PICK: Hornets +11 (-110)
