BTB Betting Pick

The Celtics are favored by 11.5 points against the Wizards. Boston allows just 109.6 points per game, which ranks 2nd in the league. Given the Wizards’ struggles on defense, allowing 127 points per game, the Celtics should cover the spread. The projected score is Celtics 120, Wizards 108.

The total for the game is set at 231.5 points. The Wizards’ high-paced play and weak defense suggest a high-scoring game. The Celtics also shoot many threes, which can lead to more points. The projected total is 228 points, so the recommendation is to take the under.
