The Boston Celtics will play host to the Charlotte Hornets a TD Garden this Tuesday (April 7) night in what will be their third-to-last home contest of the 2025-26 NBA regular season. At the game, the Celtics are going to be looking to keep their current win streak rolling forward as the team starts to tighten up its rotations in anticipation of the league’s 2026 postseason.
On the other side of the court, the Hornets are going to be trying to keep a win streak of their own alive vs. Boston, the last team that beat them. We expect a Celtics win for this one, but strange outcomes can happen at the end of a season in the Association.
