Eastern Conference rivals the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets prepare to tip off Wednesday December 27. Boston arrives following the loss on Christmas Day to the Wizards while the Hornets enter following a win over the Bucks.
Last season, the Celtics swept the Hornets and have a 9-1 streak in their past ten with a five game consecutive streak on the line. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Hornets 59 of their 100 matches.
Boston Celtics
After leading the Eastern Conference for most of the season the Boston Celtics are in a bit of a funk. They’ve lost six of their last 11 games and also dropped to second in the East following the loss to the Wizards on Christmas Day.

The initial success the Celtics were recognizing defensively has been absent and while they remain ranked in the top ten (second) they haven’t ranked above 14th best in the last ten games.
This was bound to catch up to the youngsters who’ll now face even more adversity as they venture out West to play road games where they still have 11 to play.

One positive was the return of Marcus Morris to the lineup which should help Boston’s frontcourt. Although the Celtics defense has fallen off their offense has climbed.
Clearly the young team needs to find a balance and then apply it consistently.
Jaylen Brown left the Garden using a crutch Monday following an ankle injury. Marcus Morris who just returned (knee) is once again on the injury list. Brown and Morris will join Semi Ojeleye (back) and Gordon Hayward on the injury list.
Charlotte Hornets
If Boston had one of the easiest schedules to start the season the opposite could be said of the Hornets. Charlotte remains the most perplexing squad in the Association.
The talent on the team should have produced a much better overall record, but watching them play they seem to have forgotten how to play cohesively.
Kemba Walker remains an All-Star talent, but few others on the roster are offering him a secondary or third option on a consistent basis. Steve Clifford is away from the team which is likely contributing to their issues.
Still, this team is talented enough to garner a home court, yet at their current rate will be lucky to make the postseason.

Marvin Williams suffered a finger injury in the last game making his status for this match unknown. Michael Kidd Gilchrist is also dealing with illness and Dwight Howard is wearing a splint on the finger he injured two games ago.
Expect Howard to play, but Williams and Gilchrist will be questionable.
