I'm Corey with the story.

The Charlotte Hornets roll into Boston tonight for a big Eastern conference clash against

the Celtics, riding high after a four-game win streak.

They sit at 43 wins and 36 losses, fresh off a roaddub over the Timberwolves on Sunday.

This matchup at APM Eastern Time could shake up the playoff picture.

They're just half a game back of the Toronto Raptors for that six-seed, and two gains behind

the Atlanta Hawks for fifth.

A victory here would vault them closer to home court edge in the first round, especially

with Boston fighting to hold down the top spot.

Hornets fans are buzzing about the momentum, but injuries loom large in these tight standings.

The team's bench has been fire-lately, carrying them through the surge and keeping pressure

on the teams ahead.

He update on the injury front, Garcobi White is probable with left-gore insorinus expected

to suit up.

Since the trade deadline deal from the Chicago Bulls, he's dropped 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds,

and 3.2 assists.

Per game, over 19 outings.

Big PJ Hall is out with a fractured right ankle though.

Tune in on NBC or Peacock to see if Charlotte keeps the streak alive and climbs those standings.

Could be a statement night in Beentown.
