Celtics vs. Hornets? Let's be real. The key matchup is Charlotte's backcourt, Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball, trying to keep pace with Boston's potent duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
The Hornets are currently 39-35, a respectable record, but they've dropped three of their last five, including a tough loss to the Knicks where they shot just 38% from the field. Boston, sitting at 49-24, has won six straight, steamrolling teams like the Jazz and Timberwolves by double-digits. They're playing their best basketball of the season, plain and simple.
The Celtics will take this one easily, 120-105. Tatum and Brown are just too much.
