The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics are the best team in the NBA right now as they have gotten off to a very hot start going 15-4 to open up the season. They have been incredible at home at 8-1 this season and they just continue to beat teams as they look like they are on a mission this year to get back to the NBA Finals. The Wizards have not been terrible this year as they are sitting above .500 right now and have been playing well in their games lately, even keeping their losses very close. They have struggled in road games though and they will need to be at their best here if they want to beat one of the hottest teams in the league right now and at home. The Celtics are also a lot healthier than most teams in the NBA and they look like an unstoppable force with their full lineup out there every night. The Celtics are going to keep this kind of play up all season after the year they had last year and their only goal is getting back to the NBA Finals but winning it this time. The Wizards have been keeping their games close but they haven't really played a team as strong as Boston in their recent games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.
