The Boston Celtics, after a close overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers, are looking to bounce back against the Charlotte Hornets. The Celtics, currently 4-1, are favored by 10.5 points as they face a 2-2 Hornets team.

Key players for Boston include All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, while the Hornets will rely on LaMelo Ball and others to challenge the Celtics' defense. With Al Horford resting, the Celtics will need to effectively manage their backup center minutes.
