Boston Celtics vs. Charlotte Hornets prediction, odds, TV channel
Sitting at ninth in the Eastern Conference postseason picture, it’s easy to forget that the Boston Celtics are actually starting to slowly but surely turn this ship around.
The Cs finished 10-6 in January and are not far off from needing no NBA Play-in games to qualify for the postseason.
Somehow, someway, this team is on the up and up, despite it seeming like changes are needed. Their double-digit drubbing at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks last week probably has something to do with that, as does the fact that only one team during Boston’s current hot stretch (Miami Heat) are even ticketed for the postseason.
Tonight, the Charlotte Hornets come to town two weeks after they took the TD Garden floor and churned out a victory after 48 minutes on the hardwood. Will the Celtics pick up a valuable victory and pull within less than three games of the Brooklyn Nets for the #6 seed?
Hardwood Houdini has a prediction, odds, and TV information for the Wednesday night matchup at the TD Garden:

Celtics vs. Hornets prediction
I’m still not sold on the Boston Celtics covering a five-point spread.
Where the play figures to be here is in the overall total, and the under is the Houdini’s lean. Boston is due for a down game offensively. Take the under, especially with the total at 223 points.
