Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Prediction

I don’t want to lay this number as much as the next guy but we have no choice. The Wizards are in full tank mode and aren’t covering these massive underdog spots. The Celtics are healthy and need a win after back-to-back losses. Also, the Celtics waxed the Wizards by 45 points back in December. The Celtics are more of a complete team than they were a couple of months ago. You don’t see these numbers often, but I have to side with the Celtics. The Wizards just lack pride at this point and are willingly getting bent over.
