The Washington Wizards didn’t look good against the Nets, and it’s the type of performance that questions if they didn’t just take advantage of two subpar teams in their opener. The Boston Celtics are getting elite play from their stars, and their comeback win over the Hornets is enough to carryover. It was impressive. We’re not being asked to lay a lot. Give me the Celtics and reasonable chalk.
