Schuyler Callihan: Celtics 130, Hornets 95.

The Hornets just can't seem to shake the injury bug. Vasa Micic and Nick Richards are now questionable and although they aren't high-level performers, they are key to what the Hornets have left standing. Boston has dropped two of its last three and will be ready to send the message that they are done playing around. Celtics win big.

Prediction record: 24-10.

Ian Black: Celtics 118, Hornets 109.

Jaylen Brown might be beat up, but the Celtics are still clearly a championship-caliber roster facing a Charlotte squad simply trying to play spoiler. Boston should win handily regardless.

Prediction record: 17-3.

Atticus Ferguson: Celtics 122, Hornets 107.

The Hornets got some revenge on Jason Tatum’s now infamous “Monday night on League Pass” remarks last time out in the Hive.  This time, I think Tatum strikes back to ultimately get the last laugh.  Tatum seemingly always has a strong individual performance in Charlotte, and with perhaps an added chip on his shoulder, I’ll look for him to take over the game tonight and lead his team to a relatively easy victory. 

Prediction record: 30-6.
