The Boston Celtics enter this NBA Cup group-stage matchup at 6-2, third in the Eastern Conference, after a 109-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on November 4. Their offensive efficiency and defensive rating have held steady early in the 2026-27 season despite Jayson Tatum resting and Payton Pritchard listed as questionable with an eye abrasion. The Charlotte Hornets sit at 3-6, tenth in the East, on a five-game losing streak that includes heavy defeats to Detroit and Brooklyn. Multiple Hornets absences, notably Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams out with hamstring strains, further limit their options. These factors underpin traders’ 73.5% implied probability on the Celtics, reflecting the gap in current form, roster health, and historical dominance in similar road contests.
