The recent four-game homestand for the Washington team concluded with a disappointing 0-4 record, ending in a 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Despite securing two consecutive victories earlier, their performance has been lackluster, averaging only 107.3 points per game during this stretch. Notably, they surpassed the 110-point mark only once in these four games.
In their previous encounter, Boston held Washington to 107 points, and they are currently favored by -17 points in tonight's home game. Considering Boston's formidable defense, ranked sixth in the league, it will be challenging for the Wizards to outscore them. Any chance of success would likely have to come from the defensive end, particularly since the Celtics are holding opponents to 110.2 points per game.
Conversely, Boston might not be highly motivated for this match, given their comfortable five-game lead in the Eastern Conference standings heading into the All-Star Break. A lethargic performance wouldn't be unexpected, as they could be looking ahead to their game against the Miami Heat this Sunday. Notably, these two teams have only exceeded the total score in 5 out of their last 20 games. Additionally, the under is 4-1 in Celtics' last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record.
