Charlotte Hornets reveal starting five for first matchup vs. Celtics

It’s the first of two big games in the Queen City this weekend between the Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics.

It looked like second-year guard Brandon Miller was set to make his return from a glute strain tonight but was downgraded to OUT after going through pregame shootaround. Veteran guard Seth Curry will fill his spot in the starting lineup.
