What to Know
The Charlotte Hornets are 3-14 against the Boston Celtics since December of 2015, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Sunday. The Hornets are on the road again Sunday and play against Boston at 6 p.m. ET April 4 at TD Garden. Charlotte isn’t favored, but they just beat the odds in their last contest, so don’t count them out.
Charlotte didn’t have too much trouble with the Indiana Pacers on the road this past Friday as they won 114-97. Charlotte’s small forward Miles Bridges looked sharp as he posted a double-double on 23 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, Boston strolled past the Houston Rockets with points to spare this past Friday, taking the matchup 118-102. Boston’s center Robert Williams was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 20 points and eight assists along with nine boards.
