Hornets vs. Celtics: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

Advice and prediction

There is no question the Hornets are down and out right now, both physically and mentally. Sunday will be their fourth game on a five-game road trip, and Charlotte has lost a key player in each of the last two contests.

Even for this Hornets team, it’s a steep mountain to climb to replace Hayward’s scoring given the current situation. For now, take Boston minus-9 until Charlotte can attempt to figure out a solution.

Prediction: Celtics 112, Hornets 101
