As a team, the Wizards shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line.

However, their issues were on defense as they allowed 35 points in the second quarter and another 41 points in the third to trail in this one by as many as 27 points at one stage. CJ McCollum had a quiet game of just five points on two of nine shooting in 22 minutes of action.

The Wizards are still playing without Khris Middleton, while the Celtics have ruled out Jayson Tatum once again. The Wizards have been one of the coldest teams so far. They have lost five in a row and are now up against the Celtics who were starting to heat up before they lost to the Jazz in a heartbreaker on Monday. The line is a bit hefty, but the Celtics have won the last eight meetings with seven of those coming by double digits.
