Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Eastern Conference leading Boston Celtics take to the court as they host the lowly Washington Wizards for this Eastern Conference Thursday battle. Boston’s 39-13 has them not only top of the East pack, but holders of the best record in the NBA. They come into this contest off the back of a 125-117 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, their second in a row and fourth from the last five games. Boston will close out a seven game home stand with this game against Washington where they have gone 4-2 with their two defeats both coming to the Los Angeles based teams. Despite losing twice on this stretch of home games, the Celtics still boast an intimidating 24-3 record at TD Garden on the season. Boston’s +9.6 average points differential is the highest in the NBA, a number that increases to +12.7 when playing at home.
Washington’s struggles continue as they sit 14th in the East standings with a 9-41 record. Their anemic nine wins and .180 winning percentage is the second-worst mark in the league with only the Detroit Pistons worse off at the moment. The Wizards come into this difficult matchup on a four game losing streak following their 114-106 home defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. It was the team’s 22nd defeat on their home court this season as Washington has actually been slightly better on the road with a 6-19 record. The Wizards are giving up the second-most points in the NBA this season at 123.8 points per game which doesn’t bode well for them as they take on a Celtics team that ranks fifth with 120.4 points per game scored on average.

This is a huge number but we have the Celtics at closer to 20-point favorites over the Wizards at TD Garden – such is the vast difference in quality between these two teams. The last time Boston took to the court at home against one of the bottom 6-7 teams was their 131-91 blowout victory of the Grizzlies last Sunday.
