The Trends-
- Wizards are 0-6 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Boston.
- Wizards are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
- Total Points Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Boston.
Washington led by as much as 16 in Game 1 before falling flat on their ass and going down by 12.
The Celtics dominated from beyond the arc tying a franchise record 19-treys, and if the Wizards are to walk away with a win tonight, some D at the perimeter is a must.
Morris will return for the Wizards after an early exit in Game 1 with an ankle injury after stepping on Al Horfords foot.
Again this is a tough one, but our best bet will be the overs, with a narrow Celtics win, wouldn’t be surprised with a Wizards upset though.

The Warriors will be without Coach Kerr, and the Jazz may be missing Favors with a sore back. A full lineup at any given moment seems impossible or Utah, however despite the setbacks they seem happy enough with minimal break –
“We prefer to keep playing,” Jazz veteran Joe Johnson said. “We have a rhythm, and we’re enjoying the moment.”
The Jazz will try and slow this one right down, so the Unders are a good pick here, with a Warriors win not worth the outlay @1.07. We’d prefer the line for the Jazz, but we’re not going to take it.
Picks –
Best Pick: Total Points Under 206.5 – WIN
Feeling Lucky Pick – Nope.
