Fresh off a victory last game over the Raptors, Boston can stay on a roll Wednesday by wiping the floor with the Washington Wizards.
The Celtics play into revenge Wednesday, after handing Washington an 116-115 defeat in their last meeting back on March 7, 2006.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 212.5. That will require lots of offence - and porous defence - to surpass.
Eddie Jordan's team hopes to build upon a 105-90 win over the Knicks. They were 13 point favorites in a game that went under the total
Boston exploded for 124 points last game against Toronto and Wednesday's opening total of 212.5 will be easily passed if their offence remains hot. They were favorites in that game.
This game is likely to come down to the Wizards's execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 101.8 points per game average against the Celtics's #20-rated defensive unit.
Some trends to consider:
Washington is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Boston
Washington is 2-4-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 101 to 110 points
Washington is 6-3-0 ATS in its last 9 games after scoring 101 to 110 points
Washington is 16-8-0 ATS in its last 24 games after being 10.5 to 14 point favorites
Boston is 6-3-0 OU in its last 9 games against Washington
Boston is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 at home
Boston is 3-5-1 OU in its last 9 games
Boston is 3-6-0 ATS in its last 9 home games
