Celtics vs Hornets Prediction 13 April 2025
🔊 This match is likely to attract the smallest audience in front of screens compared to other games, even if all the stars take part. But what's the point? One team is waiting for their playoff opponent, while the other is eyeing the draft lottery.
Head-to-Head
Throughout the 24/25 season, Boston visited the Spectrum Center to face Charlotte twice and, as expected, secured victories both times (124-109, 113-103). In yesterday's home game, the Celtics also cruised to a comfortable win (130-94).
Head-to-head statistics Celtics - Hornets
Boston Celtics Team Overview
The team wrapped up the season in second place in the Eastern Conference. This season, the Celtics couldn't maintain their status as last year's conference champions, as Cleveland appeared stronger throughout. However, it's not fair to say that Boston has declined or is no longer a top contender for the championship. They rank eighth in the league for points scored (116.4) and second in the league for points allowed (107.6). No matter who Boston faces on their path to the title, they will be considered favorites, having retained their roster, maintained their style, and preserved their high-level experience.

Charlotte Hornets Team Overview
Despite boasting players like LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams (albeit with varying injury issues), the team ranks among the league's worst in point differential: minus 8.8 on average per game (27th in the league). It's uncertain what lineup they'll put out against the Celtics. However, this hardly matters at this point. What truly counts for them is their draft pick number and the player they select. That's when we can start discussing expectations.

Editor's Prediction
In yesterday's game, Joe Mazzulla utilized all available key players (except Brown), who delivered results while playing in "first gear." Whether the head coach will field them in the back-to-back or give them a rest remains uncertain. However, even Boston's bench should handle Charlotte with ease. We're backing Boston to win with a -15.5 spread.
