Washington is off to a nice 4-1 start. But this game sets up well for Boston.
The teams just met in Boston this past Wednesday. The Wizards upset the Celtics, 116-107, as a 4-point road 'dog.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics' two main scorers, were a combined 14-for-38 (36.8 percent) in the loss. Washington shot 51 percent from the floor in the win, while Boston made 44 percent of its field goals.
The Celtics have been idle since then. They can use the prep and practice time playing for first-year head coach Ime Udoka.
The Wizards went on to defeat the Hawks on Thursday night. So this marks their third game in four days. It's an earlier than usual start time, too. Washington might be without two of its rotation players with Rui Hachimura and Daniel Gafford each questionable.
