The Celtics won their last game against the Wizards comfortably. During that game, the Wizards gave up seven more turnovers than the Celtics and committed 10 more fouls resulting in 16 extra free throws. We predict that the Wizards will once again struggle to hold the Celtics’ potent offense at bay. The green team should be able to win this one comfortably.
