Injuries are going to play a huge role in this game and there is a large threat that Washington could be missing three guys out of their starting lineup.

For a team that isn't very good when healthy this makes things a lot worse.

Boston will be missing some pieces also but they still have one of the best players in the NBA in forward Jayson Tatum.

This one probably wont be very close as the Wizards look like they're starting to envision their offseason plans and the Celtics will cover the -13.5 point spread.
