Ime Udoka is an enthusiastic supporter of the defensive model of the game. This specialist is trying to teach his men to play carefully under their basket. With that in mind, we don’t think the encounter will be productive.
Boston is 46.2 in rebounds this season, Charlotte is 44.3.
Ime Udoka’s side has improved slightly. The Celtics won four of their last five games. They lost only to the Atlanta Hawks (92-108). These successes allowed Boston to climb to ninth place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics continue their fight for a playoff spot.
The Boston Celtics won their last meetings. First, Udoka’s men defeated the New Orleans Pelicans, 107-97 on the road. At home, the Celtics handled the Miami Heat (122-91).
The Hornets are not yet in the play-off zone. They are currently in seventh place in the East. But they’re just one win away from sixth-ranked Brooklyn. Charlotte can’t be relaxed. If they win, they can catch up with the New York team.

Highlighted Player
Terry Rozier – Charlotte Hornets
Rozier has been playing stable at this stage. Charlotte’s attack doesn’t look so amazing without him. He’s fast, athletic, which gives him the opportunity to contribute to the team’s good play.
He has an average of 18 points and 4 assists per game, but it was in the last game that he had a double-double with 28 points and 10 assists. A game like that against the Celtics would definitely help the team win the game.
Terry Rozier is our highlighted player of the match.
