Result:
LOSS

Both teams are trying snap three-game losing streaks and Boston has lost four of its last five games, including two road losses at Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Isaiah Thomas missed the last four games for the Celtics with a groin injury and is probable for tonight's contest. The Spurs shot 55 percent against the Celtics on Wednesday and Boston made just 10-of-31 three-point attempts. Boston's defense has been a problem lately as the Thunder shot nearly 50 percent in the previous game. Charlotte looks to avenge a 104-98 loss in the first meeting in the opening week of the season as it comes off a 109-106 loss at Washington. Nicolas Batum scored 20 points and Cody Zeller added 18 points and the Hornets shot 51.4 percent from the field. Boston is 0-5 ATS its last five home games and 2-5-1 ATS its last eight games overall. The road team has covered the spread the last five meetings, so take the points on the Hornets.
