The Charlotte Hornets play the Boston Celtics in a matinee affair. This ones' a rematch of their most recent preseason game a couple days ago. Unlike the last few, this one will actually be on TV! National TV at that.
What: Hornets vs Celtics
When: Oct. 8, 2016 at 3:30 p.m.
Where: Moeghan Sun Arena
TV: NBA TV
Radio: WFNZ 610 AM, WFNZ 102.5 FM
Projected Starters
| Hornets | Position | Celtics |
| Kemba Walker | PG | Isaiah Thomas |
| Nicolas Batum | SG | Avery Bradley |
| Michael Kidd-Gilchrist | SF | Jae Crowder |
| Marvin Williams | PF | Amir Johnson |
| Roy Hibbert | C | Al Horford |
Kemba Walker is back again after playing in his first real action since surgery last offseason, and it'll be interesting to see how much he plays in his second game back. Cody Zeller is still facing some complications with his knee, and we're not sure when he will return, thus Roy Hibbert will get further time to play with the starters. This is potentially going to be their full time lineup come late October.
