Payton Pritchard was on top with 22 points, the real engine of the team. Sam Hoser scored 20, Derrick White scored 19, and Jason Tatum scored 16.

1.88Tip and bets
Boston is already in the playoffs, second place is in the pocket, and it looks like Mazzulla decided to give the stars a day off - the whole base is in the infirmary, the second line—up is on stage. Charlotte has been dreaming of a vacation for a long time — the season is like a long-running joke for them. But the Hornets have a chance: a couple of basic players will come out, and Celtic have youngsters who want to prove their worth. Lee will set up the guys, and they will gnaw out a victory over the reserve of champions. It will be sensational.
Our prediction is that Charlotte will win in overtime in 5.95
Betting on an individual total
Charlotte is shooting modestly this season — 105.1 points on average, and even less away, 104.9. In five of the last six meetings with Boston, they have not shot 105. And now, against the Celtics' second line—up, don't expect a miracle-Boston's defense is strong anyway, and the Hornets aren't in the shape to surprise.
Our prediction is that Charlotte's individual total is less than 101.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
Bet on the first half
Charlotte has lost the first half in nine of the last ten games against Boston, as if they were sleeping at the start. But this time it might be different. Against Celtic's reserves, they have a chance to take off from the first minute. Lee will set up a team, and they will try to shock the audience. It's time to change the statistics!
Our prediction is that Charlotte will win in the first half in 4.11
