Fanduel Odds

Today should be an easy day at the office for the Celtics. They are playing at home, are fully healthy, and are facing a shorthanded Hornets team. The Hornets are missing Gordon Hayward and Malik Monk who are two very important pieces for their team. This game is personal for Kemba and Rozier, as they were traded for each other 2 seasons ago, and will look to prove their worth. On a holiday, with an unusual start time, and the Hornets probably exhausted as this is their 4th road game in a row, I think offense will be sloppy and it will be a low scoring game. I think the Celtics dominate this game and hold the Hornets to under 100 points. Take the Celtics -9.5, the under 216.5 total points, and Kemba Walker over 17.5 points.
