Sunday, November 27th, 2022, the Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics meet for the second of three scheduled meetings this season. Boston won the October 30th match 112-94 while the Wizards will host the final meeting on March 28th.
Both teams last played Friday with the Wizards completing a baseball set versus the Heat and in a rarity (most baseball sets result in splits) lost both the Wednesday (105-113) and Friday (107-110) games while the Celtics routed the Kings 122-104.
Last season, the teams played four times splitting the series with two wins each. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Wizards in 197 of their 316 matches
Washington Wizards
Parity abounds in the East’s jumbled middle tier. A good or bad week could find the 10 teams seeded third through 12th all swapping positions.
Adding to the confusion is more than ever results are being influenced by injuries and strength of schedule, both positively (Wizards, Nets, Hawks, Knicks) and negatively (Raptors, Heat, 76ers).
The Nets for example just played three teams in a row without their TOP THREE players:
- Grizzlies: Morant, Banes, Jackson
- 76ers: Embiid, Maxey, Harden
- Raptors: Siakam, VanVleet, Barnes
Similarly, the schedule has aided teams based on the road/home split, rest (dis)advantages, back-to-back, or baseball sets. For example, the Hawks have already had four rest advantages whereas the Nets game on Wednesday was the first such instance for Toronto.
The Wizards fall in the advantaged group having played 11 home games (including a six-game home stand), multiple opponent superstars out, rest advantages (x2), and only just played their first baseball set.
Offensively, the Wizards score 108.3 points per game which rank 29th overall. Washington shoots 46.5% from the field and 34.2% from the perimeter ranking 17th and 21st respectively.
Defensively, the Wizards allow opponents to score 109.6 per game ranking eighth overall. As for opponent efficiency, the Wizards allow foes to shoot 44.5% from the field ranking fourth-best, and 36.5% from the perimeter ranking 22nd.
Monte Morris (ankle), Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Johnny Davis (groin) are all questionable for Sunday. Delon Wright (hamstring) is out indefinitely.
Boston Celtics
While the Wizards have benefitted from an easier schedule the Celtics have played what I would deem a middle-of-the-road itinerary.
They’ve had a close to even split of road versus home games (10-9), had two rest advantages, and played three back-to-back sets but no baseball or home-and-home sets.
Offensively, the Celtics rank in the top five for scoring and proficiency – specifically, the Bean Town crew scores the most points averaging 119.8 per game. Boston shoots 48.8% from the field ranking fourth and 39.7% from the perimeter ranking second overall.
Defensively, the Celtics allow opponents to score 112.9 points per game ranking 14th. Boston allows their opponents to shoot 46.5 percent from the field ranking 14th and 35.4 from the perimeter ranking 13th overall
Robert Williams III (knee) and Danilo Gallinari (knee) are out indefinitely.

Free Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Boston has only lost to the Bulls and Cavaliers thus far this season and has a sizeable advantage of 15 wins atop the East, five games up on the Wizards.
Washington isn’t a team that’s likely to challenge them for a win nor are the Celtics likely to take them for granted because there is a long-standing rivalry between the clubs.
The question is whether the Celts will cover which I’m inclined to believe they will, given their overall talent and two-way play.
