This is a 10* on OVER

The last three games of the regular season - for both the Wizards and Celtics - all went Under the total. The teams are also 5-0 Under the past five meetings against one another, three of those five taking place this season. It’s a high total for tonight’s play-in game where the winner becomes the 7-seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. While many signs point to the Under, we think going Over is the right move in this one. Washington games saw an average of 235.1 points in the regular season, the highest mark in the league. They were dead last in points/game allowed. Boston was incredibly inconsistent at the offensive end their last six games, five of which they lost. Three times they didn’t even crack 100. But the other three all saw them score 121 or more. The Wizards like to play fast and this should be a game with lots of possessions and plenty of opportunities to score. Bradley Beal returned to the Washington lineup in the last regular season game. He and Russell Westbrook are the reason this team has won 17 of its last 23 games. Boston is 6-0 Over its last six home games and the last four have seen a MINIMUM of 248 points scored. Play on OVER
