The Hornets travel to TD Garden to take on the Celtics Friday night.

These teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Celtics have won four of their past five and are at the top of the Eastern Conference, while the Hornets have lost five straight coming into this game and sit in the second-to-last spot in the East.

Boston ranks among the league’s top three offenses and top 10 defenses, according to ESPN. Charlotte ranks near the bottom of the pack in both average points scored and average points allowed.

The Hornets are also the league’s worst 3-point shooting team and have the second worst field-goal percentage.

In terms of player props, with Robert Williams III listed as day-to-day, Grant Williams will get more playing time. He’s performed well with additional minutes and, considering how bad the Hornets are on the boards, look for the slightly undersized power forward to clean up the boards.

Back Williams to scoop up at least 10 boards here.

The majority of these teams’ recent games have gone under, so there’s a solid play on the under here. Boston shouldn’t have much trouble with Charlotte so look for them to cover the spread.
