NBA Championship contenders Boston Celtics will take on the Washington Wizards at the TD Garden in what is expected to be a high scoring thriller between the two Eastern Conference heavyweights.
The Wizards will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing loss against the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics will be seeking their seventh win of the season.
Washington Wizards - Team News
Star point guard Russell Westbrook's dislocated finger is still sore, and head coach Scott Brooks might have to rest him for this match as a precautionary measure. The Washington Wizards have had an injury-free campaign so far, and they will have all their other players available for this game.
Raul Neto might come into the team in place of Westbrook, and Bradley Beal is set to take his place at the shooting guard position.
Injured: None
Doubtful: Russell Westbrook
Suspended: None
