The Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards meet Tuesday in NBA action at the Capital One Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Boston Celtics are averaging 118.1 points on 47.5 percent shooting and allowing 111.7 points on 46.4 percent shooting. Jayson Tatum is averaging 30.1 points and 8.9 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown is averaging 27 points and 3.4 assists. Malcolm Brogdon is the third double-digit scorer and Derrick White is grabbing 3.5 rebounds. The Boston Celtics are shooting 37.8 percent from beyond the arc and 81.5 percent from the free throw line. The Boston Celtics are allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.3 rebounds per game.

The Washington Wizards are averaging 112.9 points on 48.6 percent shooting and allowing 113.8 points on 47 percent shooting. Bradley Beal is averaging 23.2 points and 3.9 rebounds, while Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 23 points and 2.6 assists. Kyle Kuzma is the third double-digit scorer, and Monte Morris is grabbing 3.4 rebounds. The Washington Wizards are shooting 35.8 percent from beyond the arc and 78.8 percent from the free throw line. The Washington Wizards are allowing 36.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.5 rebounds per game.

The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Wizards are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Tuesday games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 9-4 in Celtics last 13 overall. The over is 6-2 in Wizards last 8 Tuesday games. The Celtics are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

I don’t want to lay double-digit chalk with the Boston Celtics, as they win but don’t do well in these spots. However, the Celtics are smoking teams again lately, and the Wizards are losing their last 5 games by an average of 7.2 points. The Wizards have pretty much played themselves out of the play-in tournament, and they look like a team that’s given up on the season. Massive line, but it’s Celtics or pass for me.
