The Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics meet at the Capital One Arena to contest another round of the in-season tournament in the NBA. The Wizards are fourth with a 0-1 record in East Group C while the Celtics sit second in the standings with a 1-1 mark. Let’s get into the match prediction!

Washington have experienced a dreadful start to the 2024/25 campaign with only the imploding 76ers worse off in the standings overall. At 2-11, the Wizards already sit nine games below .500 and there doesn’t look to be any end in sight.

After a relatively positive 2-2 start, Washington has now gone on to lose the last nine games in a row following a 134-106 blowout to the Knicks.

Washington will have their work cut out for them as they take on a Celtics team that looks to have avoided any kind of championship hangover so far.

Boston sits second in the East standings overall with 12 wins from their first 15 games. Recently, the champions picked up a huge 120-117 win over the Cavaliers, snapping Cleveland’s sensational 15 game winning streak to start the year.

The Celitcs possess the second-most potent offense in the league, racking up 121.3 points per game on average.
