Boston at Charlotte

The Boston Celtics are still chasing home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs at 43-29. Charlotte is now seven games below .500 and is seeing their playoff hopes all but vanish as the Hornets have played poorly down the stretch at 5-11 in their last 16 games. Charlotte has shot 43% or less in each of its last three games, and Boston is a good defensive team and has a lot of depth. Boston is now 12-1 SU in its last 13 at home vs. a team with a losing record, including nine straight wins and is 10-3 ATS in this spot in their last 13. Play on Boston.
