The Wizards have won three of their opening five encounters this season. In their last game, the Indiana Pacers got the better of them in a 127-117 loss. They were outclassed by the Pacers side, who on the night shot the ball way better than them taking home the win. The Wizards only made 40% of the threes they attempted, which ended up being the stark difference between the two sides, as the Pacers ended the game with 53.6% accuracy from beyond the arc.
Bradley Beal has been a top-class performer for the Wizards once again this season. Averaging 22.6 points, 5.8 assists, and 1 steal per game - he is the leader of the Wizards' offense that saw the likes of Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis arrive. The two new faces have hit the ground running. Kuzma is averaging around 20.4 points per game while Porzingis is scoring nearly 18 a night.
The Celtics have gotten off to a sluggish start as per their lofty standards, winning only three of their opening five matches. They are coming off a two-game losing streak which saw them lose against the Cavs and the Bulls, respectively. In their latest defeat against the Cavaliers, the cavalry around star duo Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum didn't perform well at all. The two star men scored 32 each, but the next best scorer in the side was Al Horford with 12.

As mentioned earlier, the duo of Tatum and Brown have been sensational early on this season. Tatum has scored just over 32 points per game, while his partner-in-crime Brown has averaged nearly 26 points per game. The biggest concern that the Celtics have is getting more out of the rest of the squad, as depending on Tatum and Brown to such a degree over the rest of the season is too tall of a task even for the caliber that those two have. Even though the two have put up great offensive numbers, their game from the three-point line has been underwhelming as they have an average 3-point accuracy of only 34%.

Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Best Pick:
Often touted as one of the very best in the league, Jayson Tatum is well and truly becoming a modern-day superstar in the NBA. His consistent numbers and jaw-dropping abilities have left many to wonder where his ceiling may lie. This season, he has transcended his own game, averaging nearly 33 points a night, coupled with eight rebounds and four assists. An MVP-caliber season was expected of him, and he is on his way towards delivering it.
Jayson Tatum; Points: Over 27.5 (-105)
Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Final Prediction:
Both sides are on equal footing this season. Thus far, nothing separates them, but on paper, the Celtics are much stronger. The Wizards don’t have a great record on the road recently. They have failed to win three of their last five away games. TD Garden has historically been a fortress for the Celtics and they are coming into this game with extra motivation, looking to end the two-game losing streak they’re on. The Celtics should take this one - but it will be tight.
Boston Celtics: -9 (-107)
