What to Know
The Boston Celtics are on the road again Monday and play against the Charlotte Hornets at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 16 at Spectrum Center. Boston will be strutting in after a victory while Charlotte will be stumbling in from a loss.
The Celtics are hoping for another win. They captured a comfortable 122-106 win over Charlotte this past Saturday. Boston can attribute much of their success to power forward Jayson Tatum, who had 33 points and six assists along with nine rebounds, and point guard Malcolm Brogdon, who had 30 points.
Boston is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Charlotte’s defeat took them down to 11-33 while Boston’s victory pulled them up to 32-12. Allowing an average of 118.68 points per game, the Hornets haven’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming matchup.
