Command Analysis
Boston Celtics
USACurrent form
Boston is not just a team, it's a car that rushes to glory. After three wins in a row, they stumbled away from Orlando on April 10, 76-96, with an obscene score. Without their stars— Jason Tatum, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis—they lost all four quarters as if they had forgotten how to hold the ball.
But even in that darkness, Payton Pritchard flashed a double—double (15 points, four rebounds, ten assists), a real fighter. Luke Kornet added 14, Baylor Sheyerman added 15, Nehemiah Keta added 11, and Sam Hoser added ten. Joe Mazzulla's team (59 wins, 21 losses) proudly holds the second place in the East, with a ticket to the playoffs in its pocket.
Disqualifications and injuries
Celtic have only one thorn in their side — Jaylen Brown will miss the match for medical reasons. But the rest of the Titans—Tatum, White, Holiday, Porzingis—are back in action, and it's like a fresh wind before a storm.
Interesting facts for betting

Charlotte Hornets
USACurrent form
But Charlotte is a team that seems to be caught in a storm: ten defeats in the last eleven matches. On April 10, they were simply crushed against Toronto with a weakened squad — 96:126, losing all quarters. Nick Smith, however, did well — he had a double-double (28 points, six rebounds, ten assists), a real ray of light in this gloom. Yusuf Nurkic added 26 points, but it was like a drop in the bucket.
Charles Lee's team (19 wins, 61 losses) is in 14th place in the East, and even the play-in is like a distant star for them.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Hornets arrived in Massachusetts as if after a fight— two basemen, Josh Green and Miles Bridges, in the infirmary. It's like going out on the floor without a couple of key figures — it's hard, but they will try their best.
Interesting facts for betting
Charlotte is averaging 106 points in games against Boston (over the last ten meetings).
The approximate line-up: KJ Simpson, Seth Curry, Yusuf Nurkic, Nick Smith, Mark Williams.

1.87Tip and bets
Charlotte has been finishing the season for a long time, as if on autopilot — zero motivation, thoughts about the beach. They've been hanging out at the bottom of the table all year, and it's not their fairy tale. But Boston is champion blood. After Orlando's slap in the face, they will clearly want to prove that it was an accident. At home, with the stands buzzing like a beehive and almost the strongest squad, the Celtics must smash the weakened Hornets to smithereens. Mazzulla will set up the guys, and they will play so that the fans will give a standing ovation.
Our betting tip is for Boston to win with a head start (-17.5) points, including overtime in 1.82
Bet on the total
The Boston and Charlotte matches are always a feast of points: an average of 226 over the last ten meetings. And now there's no reason to expect a boring game — the Hornets have holes in their defense due to injuries, and Celtic and their stars will push forward. Get ready for a show where the ball flies like in a circus.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 218.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player
Jason Tatum is not just a player, he is the fifth sharpshooter in the league with an average of 27 points per game. Two—time Olympic champion, 27 years old, and every season he proves that his ceiling is the sky. Against the battered Charlotte, he will come out and show class, as in the best games. Expect fireworks from him.
Our betting tip is a total over Tatum of 28.5 points in 1.87
