The Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics lock horns at the Spectrum Center in the NBA’s Eastern Conference on Sunday. The Hornets are making a late-season surge for the playoffs and sit in 10th place at 39-35, while the Celtics occupy second place at 49-24. Check out our match prediction below!
Charlotte suffered a 118-114 home loss to the 76ers on Saturday evening, snapping their five-game winning streak. With eight games to play, the Hornets sit 2.5 games behind the sixth-place Hawks for automatic playoff qualification.
At a minimum, the Hornets will be aiming to get into seventh or eighth place for the Play-In tournament, which would greatly increase their odds of making the playoffs proper. Despite losing last night, Charlotte looks to be peaking at the perfect time. Since the All-Star break, Charles Lee’s squad has won 13 of 19 games.
Boston is coming off a pair of very impressive home wins. They beat the seemingly unstoppage Thunder 119-109 (snapping their 12-game winning streak) and followed that up with a 109-102 victory over the red-hot Hawks on Friday, dealing them only their second loss in the last 16 games.
It has the Celtics 4.5 games behind the Pistons for the top spot in the East and maintaining a 1.5 game lead over the third seed Knicks.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have been bolstered by the return of Jayson Tatum in recent weeks, but they will come into Sunday’s game with a number of unknowns. Tatum, Jaylen Brown (who missed out against Atlanta) and Derrick White are all listed as questionable for this matchup.
The Hornets, meanwhile, are much more of a known quantity. They’re playing their best basketball of the season and have proven to be one of the best teams in the league when playing the second half of a back-to-back. Our Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics prediction: Hornets -1.
