The money has been on the Over as it opened 19.5 @ -130 before it was bet up to 20.5 @ -134.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The matchup vs. the Boston Celtics is a good one for three-pointers; opposing starting PGs have averaged the most treys per game in the league this year (3.0).
The Charlotte Hornets check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

The 2nd-most sluggish pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 25 games has been the Charlotte Hornets.
The Charlotte Hornets are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions in this contest from sharing the court with the least up-tempo pace offense in the league this year (the Celtics).
With respect to getting to the charity stripe, the Charlotte Hornets's unimpressive 18.9 foul shot attempts per game as the away team rates 2nd-worst in the NBA over the last 10 games.
This year, the other team's starting PGs have attempted 2.3 foul shots per game (lowest in the league) against the Boston Celtics, making it tough to get to the free-throw line.
