Celtics vs. Hornets

Our projection leverages Jaylen Brown’s 2.4% rebound rate increase during frontcourt absences, as center Nikola Vucevic is ruled out and leading rebounder Jayson Tatum (9.5 RPG) remains questionable for Sunday's matchup. Brown is currently averaging 7.0 rebounds per game and is coming off an 8-rebound performance against Oklahoma City, positioning him to anchor the glass as Boston looks to secure the final win needed to officially clinch their playoff berth.
