Hornets Look To Build On Two-Game Win Streak
The Boston Celtics play host to the Charlotte Hornets at TD Garden on Monday evening.

The Hornets (6-14) look to build on a two-game win streak as they head back out on the road with a chance to add to their 2-8 road record. Terry Rozier leads the team, averaging 20.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. Kelly Oubre averages 19.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.7 steals, while P.J. Washington averages 15.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The Hornets average 109.4 points per game, which is seventh fewest in the league. On the other end, they are giving up an average of 114.2 points per game. They continue to deal with injuries, as LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (shoulder), Cody Martin (knee) and Dennis Smith (ankle) will remain sidelined.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Celtics (16-4), after an impressive home win over the Wizards on Sunday. The Celtics jumped out to a great start and led 72- 55 at halftime. They kept up the pace, outscoring the visitors 41-33 in the third quarter to make it a 25-point game heading into the fourth. The visitors mounted a strong rally in the final frame, but the Celtics kept their composure and closed out their third straight win. Jaylen Brown led the way in the win, with 36 points, five rebounds and two assists, while Malcolm Brogdon followed up with 17 points, six rebounds and four assists. The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum (ankle) on Sunday, and he remains questionable for action on Monday. The Celtics have won 12 of their last 13 games and will look to keep rolling as they face the fourth game of a six-game home stand
