Washington Wizards (2-11) will be at the Capital One Arena on Friday night to host Boston Celtics (12-3) in the Emirates NBA Cup. The Wizards will be looking to bounce back from their opening loss last week against the Hawks in arguably their biggest matchup this season. They haven't tasted victory since beating the Hawks late last month, leaving them second last in the East against fellow strugglers, the 76ers. They now have their work cut out against the defending NBA champions, who look hungry for wins after stuttering in the last few matches. The Celtics will be looking to get things rolling after serving the Cavaliers their first defeat of the season on Wednesday in the NBA Cup group stage. They should be fired up to destroy the Wizards on Friday.

Our Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have no room for error as they look to keep up with the pace in Group C and the Eastern Conference. They are faring quite well on the road this season, winning seven of their eight assignments. Their second-placed attack, led by Jayson Tatum, should make quick work of the disorganized Washington defense. The Wizards are ranked last in the league after conceding an average of 124.7 points per contest. Boston has no injury worries heading into this matchup, with only Kristaps Porzingis ruled out. It should be an easy win for them. Our prediction for Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics: Boston Celtics to cover -15.5 spread.
Prediction:
