The Celtics hit the court on Monday, surprisingly seeking their first victory against the Hornets this season.

The Celtics rank among the top five teams in nearly every statistical category, excelling in both offense and defense.

Renowned for their prowess beyond the arc, they stand among the best in the NBA, consistently ranking in the top three for 3-point field goals made per game.

Defensively, the Celtics are in the top three in field goal defense, given Porzingis' fearsome interior presence and the explosive guard tandem of Jrue Holiday and Derrick White.

Miles Bridges' return has significantly bolstered the Hornets' roster, with his contributions proving vital in the absence of LaMelo Ball. Currently, Bridges leads the team in scoring, assists and field goal shooting, stepping up admirably to fill the void left by Ball's absence.
