Boston Celtics
Boston’s playoff positioning is all sealed up.It will be the 2-seed and play either Milwaukee, Miami or the team it faces on Tuesday night, Washington, in the first round of the playoffs.
The Celtics have been taking a bunch of abuse in the week since Kyrie Irving had further knee surgery and officially was ruled out of the playoffs. The three teams I mentioned above have been jockeying for the 7-seed, which would fetch the round one matchup with Boston.

It’s hard to argue with the logic, but it’s a shame after the great season the Celtics had. Brad Stevens’ team overcame so many injuries and disappointments to once again win more games than it did last season.

And, for what it’s worth, I still like this team against any of those three bottom-feeders. Terry Rozier will be a swarming defensive presence in the playoffs and Al Horford plus Jaylen Brown make the Celtics a hard-nosed, rough defensive team.
Will there be enough offense? That’s the biggest question in the playoffs and it’s the Celtics’ biggest concern. Ultimately, that will be the downfall.
As for this game, it’s hard to imagine Stevens tipping his hand at all against a potential opponent. Boston just lost to the Hawks and will probably coast through this one, too.
Washington Wizards
Washington, meanwhile, will be doing anything but coasting.
The Wizards are on a four-game losing streak; Scott Brooks just chewed them out in a film session, calling them a selfish team; and they want to work their way up to the 7-seed, or even further, to avoid the Raptors in round one.

But it feels, watching this team, that the Wizards think there will just be a switch to flip once the playoffs start. You can play harder, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll play better. This is still a flawed team, without any quality bigs and a disjointed offense that gets stagnant when John Wall is on the floor.
Honestly, I believe Otto Porter Jr. is their best player. He doesn’t get the most looks, but he’s efficient and plays every possession well. He doesn’t get the love that Bradley Beal or Wall get, but he’s a rock.
With the losing streak going and the chance to move up, this is definitely Washington’s game. But if the Wiz don’t shake the Celtics early, frustration could set it.
