Celtics and Hornets live stream: How to watch online
The Boston Celtics (27-10) will visit the Charlotte Hornets (12-21) Wednesday night. Here’s how to watch this game online via live streaming.
After falling to the Washington Wizards on Christmas Day, the Boston Celtics temporarily lost the Eastern Conference’s top winning percentage until the Toronto Raptors lost to the Mavericks the next night. Even so, the Celtics come into the game with a strong 27-10 record, while their home counterparts bring in a 12-21 mark. Wednesday, the Celtics and Hornets will be meeting for the second of three times this season. Their first meeting featured poor shooting from both teams and a big Boston comeback, as the Celtics overcame an 11-point first quarter to win by three, 90-87. Boston held Charlotte to 30 second-half points after allowing 57 in the opening two frames. The Celtics were able to accomplish this without the services of Al Horford and largely without Kyrie Irving, who was limited to two minutes after getting elbowed in the face.
The Hornets are struggling, having dropped 12 of their last 16, including six of their last eight home games. For its part, Boston is struggling as well, at least relative to its hot start. Five of the Celtics’ 10 losses have come within the last 16 days and at the hands of not exactly stellar teams, including the Bulls, Jazz, Heat, Knicks, and Wizards. To make matters worse, Jaylen Brown has been listed as doubtful to compete as he nurses a sore right knee. In addition, Marcus Morris won’t be playing. Brown has only missed three games this season, with the Celtics going 2-1 in those contests. For the Hornets, leading scorer Kemba Walker is struggling with his efficiency. Over his last 14 games, dating back to Nov. 24, he’s shooting just 39.2 percent from the field, including 28.8 percent from 3 on 7.4 attempts per game.
