Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets 10/2/22 NBA Picks, Predictions, Odds

Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics meet in NBA preseason action at the TD Garden on Sunday. The Hornets won 43 games last year and have an intriguing team with LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, P.J. Washington, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Jalen McDaniels. Boston won the NBA title last season and is the betting favorite to win the title this year.

Hornets are 15-5-1 AATS in last 21 road games and 2- 5 ATC in the last 7 Sunday games. Celtics have won 6 of their 8 preseason games, but are 2.5 AET in 11 games in Boston.
