Game Matchup: Boston at Washington
Tip-off: 7:00 pm ET
Line: Boston - 3
Analyzes/Angles:
Wizards/Boston play the second half of their home & home series tonight in Washington .
The Wizards are 4-2 ATS in the past six against Boston and 3-1 ATS the last 4 including yesterday?s 7 point loss as an 8 and half point underdog. In that game the Wizards were leading at halftime 53-48, out-rebounded the Celtics 44-32 and shot 45% from the field and Boston shot 42 %, so how come they lost by 7? Well, turnovers and free Throws that?s why. Washington committed 21 turnovers which led to 14 pts. Washington shot 73 % from the line, while Boston shot 84 %. There?s your ball game, especially on the road.
The Wizards have out-rebounded their opponents in 5 out of their last 6 games and 7 out of the last 10. Meanwhile the Celtics are totally the opposite, being out-rebounded in 7 out of their last 10 games. Ironically, rebounds cost the Wizards a chance last night when they failed to grab two huge defensive rebounds when they were down 3 with: 55 seconds left:
"That was the play of the game right there," Pierce said. "The two offensive rebounds that took a minute off the clock and we got a bucket." "Offensive rebounds toward the end of the game really was in our favor," Celtics guard Tony Delk said. "We got another chance to get off one more shots and run time off the clock."
Boston has now won 4 games in row and Washington has lost 3 in a row. The Celtics has won more than 4 games in a row only once this year and that was back in Dec. On 11/24/2001. Washington beat Boston 88-84 as a 1-point home favorite but Boston is 2-1 SU against Washington this year. Look for Washington to snap their 3 game losing streak tonight and even up the series against Boston.
Favorable Trends:
The Wizards are 4-2 ATS in the past six meetings.
Pick2Play: Washington + 3 (5 units)
Good Luck!
