Monday, January 16th, finds the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets playing the third of four scheduled meetings.
For one thing, this is the second game of a baseball set that the Celtics won the front side 122-106 on Saturday. Boston also won the initial November 28th match 140-105 and will host the final game between the clubs on February 10th.
In history, the Celtics own the advantage of winning 73 of the clubs’ 118 meetings. Also, last season the teams played four times with the Celtics winning three of the four contests.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Sunday evening, January 15th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, January 16th.
Boston Celtics
Although most baseball sets were set up for teams to get the split that goes out the window when an elite team is facing a lottery team.
In any case, the Celtics learned their lesson early when the Magic marched into Boston and stole both games from them.
So facing the Hornets who seem to be the only ones who are unhappy they’ve got prime position to snag Victor Wembanyama the Celtics took precisely zero chances of messing with fate.
In reality, the third quarter was the key as Boston held Charlotte to 19 points while scoring 33 and then coasted to the victory.
Stats
In general, Boston possesses the second-best point production averaging 118.5 points per game. Also, in terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.8% from the field and 36.9% from the perimeter ranking 12th and eighth respectively.
The Celtics rank 12th for opponent scoring as teams average 112.2 points per game and limit opponents to 47.0% from the field and 35.5% from the perimeter both ranking 13th.
Summing up injuries, Derrick White (neck) is questionable for Monday while Jaylen Brown (leg) and Danilo Gallinari (ACL repair) are out indefinitely.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets’ backcourt is the one thing for Charlotte to be excited about lately. In the front side of the baseball set LaMelo Ball flirted with a triple-double registering 31 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists.
To this end Terry Rozier added 21 points, four rebounds, three assists, and a block. Neither Ball nor Rozier shot well from the perimeter combining to shoot 3 of 16 from deep.
Stats
Also, Charlotte ranks 22nd averaging 112.0 points per game and ranks 28th in field goal percentage shooting 45.0% and 30th on the perimeter shooting 32.8%.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 118.7 points (28th). So far, opponents shoot 48.1 percent from the field (25th) and 36.1% from the perimeter ranking 18th overall.
Summing up injuries, Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is questionable for Monday. Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is out indefinitely.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Most important, as frequent readers know I’m not partial to big point spreads especially in this era, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Additionally, this is one of those instances as the Celtics already showed in the front side of the baseball set.
All in all, Charlotte occasionally plays defense but rarely for a quarter let alone a full game so unless the Bean Town crew were up late Saturday this should be another easy win.
