Boston at Charlotte

Boston continues to roll and has the best record in the NBA at 32-12. They do have a couple of concerns coming to play in Charlotte for an early afternoon game. They will be without Jaylen Brown. The Celtics have not brought their "A" game when taking on weak opponents and 3 of their last 5 losses came against Oklahoma City where they allowed 150 points and a pair of losses to Orlando. Charlotte could be in a good spot as the Hornets in their last 3 games are averaging better than 50% shooting, enough to hang around here against a shorthanded and likely no-show effort by Boston. Make the play on Charlotte.
