Wizards-Celtics in Eastern Showdown

Celtics Still Gunning for #1 Seed in East

The Boston Celtics want to grab that No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference Finals. They’ve got some work to do to make that happen. Boston (46-21 SU, 40-25-2 ATS) find themselves 3.5 games back in the Eastern standings.

They’ve got a difficult matchup this Wednesday against the No. 5 Washington Wizards (38-30 SU, 32-35-1 ATS). The game tips off from the TD Garden at 8 PM ET on ESPN. The Wizards are 3.5-point favorites and the total is at 204.

The Celtics have done their best to keep up with the first-place Toronto Raptors. They have won six of their last eight games straight up and against the spread. They’re still losing ground in the East.

They could also be without their best player on Wednesday. Point guard Kyrie Irving missed the second half of Sunday’s 99-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers (+5 away) with a sore left knee that’s been bothering him for a while.

Washington has been without their superstar point guard for over six weeks. That is also because of a left knee injury. John Wall hasn’t played since January 25 after undergoing surgery. He could return any time now.

The Wizards are 12-7 SU and 12-6-1 ATS since Wall went under the knife. They are only 2-4 SU and 2-3-1 ATS in their past six games.
