Our Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Boston will go for a 4-0 regular-season sweep of the Wizards after winning the previous three games by an average of 16.3 points. This season, the Celtics have an incredible 62-16 record as favorites and 41-36-4 against the spread. While Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White will not play in this game, the Celtics' bench, led by Payton Prichard, has enough firepower to outgun the feeble Wizards.
