The Boston Celtics have stocked their roster with a lot of good players as they have had many draft picks over the last couple of years. Missing from this team were elite stars, so they went out and got Al Horford and Isaiah Thomas, and the pair has been what this team needed. Thomas is emerging as one of the top players in the league, and since he has returned from injury is averaging 31.3 points per game and leads the NBA in 4th quarter scoring. So Boston finally has the closer they desperately needed and moved to .600 on the season. Charlotte is really struggling of late, just 1-6 in their last seven games, and just 2-10 SU in their last 12 on the road. Boston has the closer, the better team playing at a high level, and Charlotte's road woes are troubling. Make the play on Boston on the moneyline.
