THE RUB
Kemba returns home to where he spent the first eight seasons of his career and made three All-Star teams.
Charlotte, with 3-straight wins, are rebuilding around a young roster and come into tonight with momentum after rallying from a 19-point deficit to force OT and beat the Pacers 122-120 on Tuesday.
The home team took each of the last five meetings but like the Celtics to get it done tonight on the road.
Overs are the trend and that’s our best for tonight.

Spurs dropped 3 of their last 4 and are looking to gain some swagger in this 3-game homestand after being outscored 38-22 in the fourth quarter of a 108-100 loss to the Hawks last time out.
OKC are looking for their first road win but are coming off B2B wins at home and defeated the Magic 102-94 on Tuesday.
The home team has won the last 7 meetings and we’ll stick with that here.

THE RUB
The Heat have won 5 of their first 7 but struggled on 36% from the floor during an ugly 109-89 road loss against Denver last out.
The Phoenix Suns have won three straight games and have things headed in the right direction after handing the 76ers their first loss in a 114-109 home victory. The Suns outscored Philadelphia by 11 points during the second half and shot 53% overall.
Both squads at a high tempo, but also rank in the top 5 in defensively. That 217.0 is tempting still.
Take the points on Miami.
