Boston at New Orleans

The Celtics have lost their last four games vs. winning teams and just don't seem right. They remain hobbled by injuries and aren't hitting on all cylinders. I think they just want to get to the All Star break to regroup. Chris Paul is out for the Hornets but they are 2-0 ATS in their last two games as they are finding ways to adjust. New Orleans is 16-8 at home yet they are getting more than two buckets here. And, this is a bad matchup for the Celtics. They are just 4-12 ATS this season vs. teams that launch 18+ three-pointers per game and 1-9 ATS vs. teams that average 83+ shots per game. I like the Hornets and the points here.
