Wizards at Celtics picks and predictions
Prediction
Celtics 116, Wizards 106
Moneyline
PASS.
The Wizards and Celtics have both struggled as of late, but Boston, especially at home, should be favored by this many. I’d back it on the spread but would not suggest playing a -370 moneyline.
Against the spread
BET CELTICS -8.5 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 224.5 (-110).
