Washington Wizards Betting Preview

The Washington Wizards have been in a slump as they've lost nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting routed by the Magic in a 109-97 home defeat on Thursday. Bub Carrington led the team with 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, Marcus Smart added 12 points while AJ Johnson chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 30 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they held the Wizards to just 18 points in the second quarter to take a 19-point lead. This was handy as the Wizards rallied to make it interesting in the third quarter. 

Boston Celtics Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have been in red-hot form as they've won 15 of their last 17 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after running past the struggling Suns in a 123-103 home win on Friday. Jaylen Brown led the team with 31 points on 10 of 16 shooting, Jayson Tatum added 23 points with eight rebounds and eight assists while Kristaps Porzingis chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Celtics shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 39 from the 3-point line as they kept the Suns in check from the tipoff to take the early lead. Before they poured on 63 points in the second half to pull away and make it look easy at home despite a quiet game from Jrue Holiday who scored just four points.

Why the Boston Celtics will win

  • The Wizards have lost each of their last 19 night games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Celtics have won each of their last eight games at TD Garden against Wizards teams that held a losing record.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games when playing with a rest advantage.
  • The Celtics have covered the spread in six of their last eight games.

Why the Washington Wizards will win

  • The Celtics have lost each of their last three games as home favorites against Southeast Division opponents following a win.
  • The Wizards have won four of their last six games as underdogs against Atlantic Division opponents.
  • The Celtics have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four home games following a win.
  • The Wizards have covered the spread in seven of their last nine road games following a home loss.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Celtics' last four home games against the Wizards following a home win have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Five of the Wizards' last six games as road underdogs have gone OVER the total points line.

Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Wizards are still missing a host of players including Malcolm Brogdon, Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert, while the Celtics are keeping eyes on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum who are both questionable here. I would be surprised if the Celtics played both Tatum and Brown given the level of competition they are up against, but I don't think it matters here. The Celtics should cruise to a comfortable win, but this line is just so hefty that I have to take the Wizards with the points in this spot.
