Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks
The Boston Celtics hope to finish the regular season on a high note when they face the Charlotte Hornets at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday at 7:30 p.m. EST. The Celtics will enter their final game against the Hornets as -7.5 point home favorites.Boston appears poised for another lengthy postseason run, having posted one of the finest regular-season records in years at 62-18. They are second in points per game (120.4 PPG) and fifth in points allowed (109.1 PPG). The Celtics would have been double-digit favorites in this match, but back-to-back losses to the Bucks and Knicks forced bookies to reduce the spread to single digits.
The Hornets, meanwhile, are attempting to make the best of another dismal season for the team. One of the rare highlights occurred last Thursday when Miles Bridges hit the game-winning basket with 3.8 seconds left to defeat the playoff-bound Atlanta Hawks 115-114. The win handed Charlotte its 20th win of the season and, more importantly, spoiled All-Star Trae Young's return from a finger injury.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Expect the Celtics to restrict playing time for their starters in preparation for the playoffs. Nevertheless, Boston will still be a tough opponent for the Hornets since head coach Joe Mazzulla will never allow his players to slack off and lose all the momentum heading into the playoffs. Charlotte will provide some resistance through the first three quarters; however, the Celtics will eventually pull away in the end and win by a double-digit margin.
