Game Prediction
The Boston Celtics will easily win this game. However, covering the spread is another story. Unless it’s a really bad team then I generally don’t like picking huge favorites in terms of a spread over 15 points. At times, the Hornets can be that poor. However, they are more likely to keep the game around a ten-point deficit. Therefore, I am erring on the side of the Charlotte Hornets covering.
Final Pick
Charlotte Hornets +17
