The Celtics tip off a four-game home stand tonight at the Garden when the Charlotte Bobcats come to town, and the Celtics are looking to get back in the win column after a tough loss on Monday night in Oklahoma City.

The C's have a 2-1 series lead against Charlotte this year, and the Bobcats come to town licking their wounds, as Emeka Okafor, Sean May, Brevin Knight and Derek Anderson all sat out Charlotte's 108-100 home win Tuesday night over the Cavaliers.

The teams last met in Charlotte on December 16, the last game of the Celtics five-game winning streak. Paul Pierce (35 points, 11 rebounds) and Al Jefferson (22 points, 10 rebounds) led the way for Boston, proving too much for the Bobcats, who settled for launching 20 three point attempts that night and connected on just five of them.

The Bobcats rank 29th in overall field goal percentage, and have struggled offensively because of it. Rookie Adam Morrison has had his ups and downs, but he's struggled mostly with getting off good shots, and is shooting just under 38% from the field this year.

The Bobcats' have just nine wins away from Charlotte Bobcats Arena, tying them with Philadelphia for the fewest road victories in the Eastern Conference.
