Wizards vs Celtics prediction

As I’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks, the Celtics have nothing to play for with the best record in the NBA locked up, so the motivation just isn’t there to cover these massive numbers. The Celtics are 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10 games, and 2 of those failed covers were outright losses as double-digit favorites. Tatum, Porzingis, Brown, Holiday, White and Horford are questionable for the Celtics. While the Wizards aren’t good, laying double-digit chalk with the Celtics in this spot is nuts. This line would drastically drop if the Celtics rest their key guys. Give me the Wizards and the points while I can still get them.
