Celtics Thrive in Epic Battle, Fueling Boston Fever!
The Boston Celtics will make the trip back to their home arena to face the lowly Washington Wizards this Saturday (March 14) night. The Celtics are going to be looking for some wins after taking their lumps on their recent road trip, while the Wiz will likely be continuing their quest for the best lottery odds possible as a franchise. But Boston needs to take care not to dismiss Washington's players, who were roundly embarrassed recently while the Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo used their dysfunction to break scoring records.
We expect a Celtics win, but only if Boston respects what might be a wounded bear of an opponent – dangerous if your guard is down. Records, standing, and streaks At present, the Celtics have a 43-23 record and a two-game losing streak, which has them second in the Eastern Conference standings. The Wizards are the owners of a 16-49 record and a 10-game losing streak, good enough for 14th in the East.
What happened in the last game for each team? Boston lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-102 on the road. Washington lost to the Orlando Magic 136-131, also on the road.
Injuries For Boston, Nikola Vucevic (hand) is out, while Derrick White (knee) and Baylor Scheierman (ankle) are probable. For Washington, Anthony Davis (finger), Kyshawn George (elbow), D'Angelo Russell (not with team), and Cam Whitmore (shoulder) are out.
