The Boston Celtics, who sit just right on the edge of the playoff zone, will be looking to cement their spot with a routine victory over the Washington Wizards. We expect Boston to not only win, but also do so covering the -5.5 points spread in our match prediction.

The Celtics are just levels ahead of the last-placed Wizards, and we don't see an outcome where they fail to beat Washington by several points. In fact, they've already played once this season, and the Celtics blew out the Wizards with 29 points. What's more, this bet has now won in all of their last seven meetings and in 11 of their last 13.

Another thing to look at is their winning and losing dynamics this season. Of the Wizards' 17 losses this season, 14 have come by over 5.5 points. This was the story in their latest 121-102 defeat to the 76ers, and in six of their last seven defeats.

The Celtics, on the other hand, have been brilliant in recent games, with seven wins in their last nine. And of those nine wins, four were by 6+ points. This includes -5.5 points wins over the Knicks, Magic, Nets, and Grizzlies, which are teams far tougher than the Wizards this season.
