The Washington Wizards are slumping at the wrong time and have lost four straight to drop into eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

They took a 103-97 home loss to the lowly Atlanta Hawks their last time out and coach Scott Brooks was far from happy with the performance. "Not passing the ball to one another. Simple as that. Nobody wanted to share the basketball tonight," coach Scott Brooks said. "When you do that, you end up taking bad shots. When you take bad shots, you end up missing. Simple game. You pass it to your teammate."

The Boston Celtics are banged up and will be without Kyrie Irving (knee) for the rest of the season, but they're also extremely well coached under Brad Stevens and according to the Boston Globe, Stevens promised he was going to play his first unit major minutes against Washington.

Boston suffered a 112-106 setback to Atlanta on Sunday but is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games following a straight up loss and 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in this series. The Celtics are 17-4 ATS as an underdog on the season.
