Boston's game plan will be to destroy Charlotte across the boards, because they just cannot guard the lane or the glass, quite frankly. The C's have been going through a hot patch as of late. They have a point guard in Marcus Smart who knows how to dish the rock and can also fill the cup as his 11 /game shows.

The Celtics have a knack of smothering the Hornets offense, allowing 105 points to them back in November and 106 on Saturday. In fact, Charlotte hasn’t scored over 110 on Boston since October of 2021. The Celtics are shooting and scoring just fine now, maybe a tick off of their season averages, but they are far from any trouble.
The return of Robert Williams has certainly been a shot in the arm as he is one the best shot blockers in recent memory.

Boston has been shooting the ball like a champion over the last week or so - with their dynamic duo, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, specifically in that stretch. Boston has a team loaded with guys who can score buckets - it will be very hard for the Hornets to guard their weapons - and I look for Boston to get another double digit win.
