The Boston Celtics have been in the national spotlight for one reason as of late: Isaiah Thomas.
The team’s 5’9″ sparkplug has become a legitimate superstar, and it’s possible that his All-Star snub gives him even more motivation during a second-half surge the rest of the season.
Speaking of All-Star snubs, John Wall is on a mission to prove he belongs in that same category.

Add that to the fact this Washington Wizards team actually has a lot of momentum on its side and you’ll realize the Wizards legitimately have a chance of earning home-court advantage in the playoffs when the regular season comes to an end.
*All statistics, rankings, standings and records are accurate as of this writing at 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 23.
Boston Celtics
Isaiah Thomas is rolling. He’s averaging 33.2 points per game in the month of January, and his last five outings have seen him score 41, 39, 35, 28 and 38 points per contest.
On the year, Boston is averaging 107.3 points per night. That number is good enough for ninth in the league.
Since Jan. 1, the Celtics have put together the fourth-best offensive rating in the NBA. They’re also fifth in scoring in points per game during that same timeframe.

Defensively, this group is allowing its opponents to score 105.3 points per contest. That number is only good enough for 18th in the Association.
But this team’s offense makes up the difference.
On the year, Boston is just 21st in terms of defensive efficiency. The team even drops to 25th if just looked at the last three weeks.
Net rating, however, is what matters most. The C’s are eighth in that category both on the year and since the turn of the calendar.
Washington Wizards
Washington enters this game coming off a 113-112 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Losing a game by that slim a margin rarely demoralizes a team, so Boston better be ready for a team that already had enough motivation to play well following the All-Star snub of Wall.
Aside from the recent loss, this group has found success aplenty as of late.
Entering that Detroit loss, the Wizards had won four straight. Going back further this group had won seven of eight.
