Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks, November 6, 2026

For Moussa Diabate to score under 18.5 points, rebounds, and assists tonight, he needs to be kept in check by the Celtics. The Hornets allow a lot of three-point attempts and rebounds, but Diabate hasn't been a huge focus in recent games. Boston does a solid job of limiting their opponents' scoring chances, which could mean fewer opportunities for him to rack up numbers. Diabate could face a tough matchup, especially since the Celtics force turnovers better than the Hornets do. While he has potential, the way these teams match up suggests he might struggle to hit that total. A concrete risk is that both teams are closely matched, which could lead to a more competitive game with less time for Diabate to shine.

Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics: Payton Pritchard Under 15.5 Pts + Rebs (+115)

Payton Pritchard has a solid chance to fall under 15.5 points and rebounds against the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets are known for letting opponents grab a lot of rebounds, but they also keep turnovers low. Pritchard might not get as many chances to score and rebound as he would like, especially with the Hornets forcing turnovers at the same rate as the rest of the league. While Pritchard has had some good games, the Celtics are also careful with their shot selection, which can limit his overall production. Keep an eye on how the teams match up, as the game can swing quickly. This bet has a good chance, but it's always a bit of a gamble.

Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics: Moussa Diabate Under 10.5 Rebs + Asts (+104)

Moussa Diabate needs to record fewer than 10.5 rebounds and assists for this bet to win. He faces the Charlotte Hornets, who give up a lot of rebounds, but they also have some players who can grab boards. The Celtics also don't allow a ton of assists, making it tougher for Diabate to pile up those numbers. Our numbers think this is a strong pick because Diabate might not get enough chances to reach that total. The Hornets allow a good amount of rebounds, but they also limit assists pretty well. The biggest risk is that Diabate could have a surprising night if he gets more playing time than expected.
