Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics preview

The Wizards never looked competitive for the entire season and had the worst record in the league for most of the campaign before the Utah Jazz faltered even more. Washington will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year and must now focus on the draft where it has one of the best odds to land the top pick.

Washington has won just two of the past 10 games and is coming off of a 109-97 loss to the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Carlton Carrington led the team with 32 points.

The Celtics are the reigning champions and they have played like contenders this season as well. While they are expected to be challenged by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs, they should still be the favorites to come out of the East.

Boston has won nine of the past 10 games and is coming off of a 123-103 win against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. Jaylen Brown led the team with 31 points, while Jayson Tatum had 23 points. Both are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

Jordan Poole’s points total is set at 15.5. While he didn’t play the last game, he is not on the injury report for Sunday’s matchup. Bet on Poole to score more than 15.5 points.

Derrick White’s points total is set at 15.5. If Brown and Tatum don’t play, he should have a bigger offensive load. The oddsmakers favor him to go over and so do we.

Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Celtics to get a huge win at home. While we expect Boston to win, it might not cover the 20.5-point spread without Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. This should be a fairly high-scoring game with the team total going past 225.5 points.
