Charlotte at Boston

There has been a quick and precise turnaround in Charlotte this year. The Bobcats were the laughing stock of the NBA over the last few seasons, but this team is armed for redemption, will be in the playoffs, and has improved steadily throughout the season. Their defeense is playing a huge role of late. The Bobcats are 5-0 in their last five games thanks to allowing an average of just 89.8 points per game over that span. Boston cleaned house of aging veterans and big salaries to start the season, as well as taking on a rookie coach. They have quickly gone from the penthouse when they acquired them, to the lottery without them. The Celtics have shown no signs of improvement either, and perhaps the team has quit as they have dropped nine straight, and 14 out of 15. On the season, this team is getting just 95.7 points per game. Meanwhile, at home their defense has been respectable - allowing 98.4 per game. This season when facing teams that allow 99+ points per game, Charlotte is 29-19 to the UNDER. They are also 23-14 UNDER when coming off a win inclujding 12-4 UNDER after back-to-back wins. Meanwhile, Boston is 34-25 UNDER as an underdog this season and 25-15 UNDER after an ATS loss. Go with the UNDER here.
