Boston Celtics
After winning resoundingly in Toronto as the only favorite to cover the spread on Christmas Day, on Saturday Boston lost to the Raptors on its home floor by exactly as many points.
It was just the Celtics’ first loss in six games and broke a string of four consecutive double-digit victories.
Kemba Walker had thirty points but Gordon Hayward made just one of his seven three-point attempts, contributing Boston’s failure to capitalize on twenty-two Toronto turnovers. The Raptors doubled the Celtics up on the offensive boards, fifteen to seven.

A couple days off and a change of scenery should work wonders for the Celtics, who are 9–6 on the road this season and have already defeated the Hornets twice, including a twenty-one-point drubbing at the Spectrum Center in the first week of November.
It’s an isolated road game with two days off before and two days off after and a home game against the Hawks waiting in Boston when it’s over. Expect the Celtics, who are as healthy as they’ve been for some time, to be sharp again.
Charlotte Hornets
Both of Charlotte’s losses to Boston so far this season have been by twenty-plus.
The Hornets were whacked just over a week ago at the Garden, 119–93. Jayson Tatum had a career-high of thirty-nine points for Boston and Terry Rozier, the former Celtic, missed all five of his three-point attempts and is now zero-for-eight from outside in two games against the Celtics’ defense this season.
Only Devonte’ Graham, who has been the breakout player of the NBA’s first half of the season, did much offensively with twenty-three points and ten assists.
In his final three seasons at Kansas, Graham started 111 games. Someone in Charlotte’s organization liked him and acquired him for a pair of second round picks in 2018 after the Hawks took him thirty-fourth overall in the draft.
In this his second season, Graham is among five players in the NBA averaging over nineteen points and 7.5 assists per game, the other four being LeBron James, Luke Doncic, Trae Young and Damian Lillard.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction: this one is harder for Boston.
After a stretch of four wins in five games, Charlotte has lost five in a row, including last Sunday night in Memphis.
But only the blowout in Boston wasn’t close. The Hornets get Monday off and will be motivated to at least play Boston close once this season. Given the first two results, oddsmakers will be hard-pressed to invite Boston action and the spread will be skewed to attract those willing to back the Hornets.
