This is the second preseason game for both of these teams. The Celtics won their first game 134-93 over these same Hornets in Boston. The Celtics then lost on Wednesday to the Raptors while the Hornets lost 122-97 to the Pacers on Wednesday. These two teams have met 116 times in the regular season with Boston leading the series 71-45. Charlotte won 43 games last season and finished 10th in the East while the Celtics won 51 games and finished 2nd in the East.
I'm guessing that both teams will go with the same starters but may limit their minutes.
