Charlotte Hornets (1-1) at Boston Celtics (2-0) Preseason Game #3 10/14/26

The Boston Celtics welcome the Charlotte Hornets to TD Garden for their third preseason matchup, with both teams looking to build momentum ahead of the regular season. Boston has started the preseason strong, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers in their first two games, while Charlotte suffered an early loss to the Brooklyn Nets before bouncing back with a win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Celtics’ lineup rotation remains fluid, with coach Joe Mazzulla potentially experimenting with starters like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Al Horford, while injuries to Devin Carter, Ron Harper Jr., and Luka Garza add uncertainty to their depth chart. Meanwhile, Charlotte has undergone significant roster changes, welcoming free-agent signing Coby White and acquiring Naz Reid, Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and Dennis Schröder through trades, alongside rookie additions Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr.

However, key players like Allen, Anderson Jr., Kylan Boswell, Kon Knueppel, White, and Grant Williams are dealing with injuries, limiting their options for this game.
