New Orleans has been a very inconsistent team all season and without Zion, in the lineup, they just haven't been able to put anything together. Boston is on a nice little run, having won four of five overall and five of their last six at the Garden. . The key to the Celtics as of late is that they finally have most of their players back on the floor. On the offensive end, they have scored more than 110 points in their last three games and that should be attainable once again against the Hornet's defense. The Pelicans, have lost four in a row on the road, giving up more than 110 points per game. The Celtics give up less than 105 points at home and the Hornets score less than 105 on the road.

Play on the Celtics. This is a 7* play.
