The Charlotte Hornets are losing key players by the week, as they’ll now be without Ball and Hayward until further notice. However, the Hornets have proven to be a scrappy team that just finds a way. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics continue to underachieve and they’re not a team I’m trying to lay big chalk with, especially with them winning by an average of just 4.1 points in the favorite role. The Celtics are 6-9 against the spread when favored by five or more points. Give me the Hornets.
