Celtics at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Celtics 119, Wizards 109
Money line (ML)
The Celtics (-300) will cost you three times your potential return. While the Wizards are dead-last in the Eastern Conference, it’s still way too much risk for not much reward.

Against the spread (ATS)
The CELTICS -6.5 (-105) took care of the Wiz by a 116-107 score Jan. 8 as 3.5-point favorites.
While Boston has covered the spread in just one of its past four games overall, they’re a good play against a Washington side that has won just once in the past five games while going 3-9 ATS across the past 12.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 231.5 (-110) has been the rule for Washington lately, hitting in five of the past six games. The Under (237.5) also connected in the first meeting against Boston.
The Under has edged the Over 6-4 in the past 10 games for the C’s, while going 5-1 in their past six as a road favorite.
