Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction NBA Picks 4/1/24

The Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets meet Monday in NBA action at the Spectrum Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Celtics vs Hornets prediction.

Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics have been in red-hot form as they've won 10 of their last 12 games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Pelicans in a 104-92 road win on Saturday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 23 points, nine rebounds and four assists, Kristaps Porzingis added 19 points with 10 rebounds and four blocks while Jrue Holiday tallied 13 points with eight rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Celtics shot 47 percent from the field and 15 of 37 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they held the Pelicans to just 20 points in the second quarter to erase an early 11-point deficit, before they held the Pelicans to just 11 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 22 points.

Charlotte Hornets

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a poor slump as they've lost seven of their last eight games overall, and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting thrashed by the Clippers in a 130-118 loss last night. Miles Bridges drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 33 points on 11 of 20 shooting, Brandon Miller added 22 points with six rebounds and four assists while Grant Williams tallied 18 points with five assists off the bench. As a team, the Hornets shot 50 percent from the field and 23 of 52 from the 3-point line, but they were always playing from behind in this one and just didn't have the defense to come all the way back. The Hornets will meet the Trail Blazers after this one.
