LiontipsBoston vs Charlotte. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Boston hit another rough patch. Stevens' players have lost three games in a row, to Brooklyn (104-109), Charlotte (105-124), and Oklahoma (115-119). Because of these results, the Celtics are at risk of losing their positions. So far they are still sixth in the Eastern Conference, but Miami have the same number of points and are behind only due to additional indicators.
The Celtics will play against Charlotte without Robert Williams and Kemba Walker. The appearance of Jayson Tatum on the court is doubtful (he didn't play in the previous game).
Charlotte are still holding onto their positions in the playoff zone. They are eighth in the Eastern Conference standings. Borrego's players have two wins less than Boston, so if they win, they have a good chance of closing the gap between themselves and the Celtics. Howver, it will be very difficult to do that. The Hornets have lost 7 of their last 10 games, so they are far from their optimal playing form.
The Hornets will play against Boston without LaMello Ball, Gordon Hayward, and Malik Monk. All of these players are injured.

Tip and bets
Recently, neither of the teams have been showing high-scoring results. For example, Charlotte in the last two away games did not even scored 100 points. Boston have also had setbacks at home against Chicago and Phoenix. Considering the injuries of the leading players in both teams, we doubt that the fixture will be spectacular and have a high score.
Our prediction is total under 224.5 points.
Boston regularly beat Charlotte at home. The last time the Hornets managed to win at TD Garden was way back in 2016. Given the Hornets' minor crisis, we believe that the hosts will win.
The second prediction is Boston to win with a handicap (-4.5) points.
