The Boston Celtics enter this matchup on a roll, having won 8 of their last 10 games (80%) while averaging a scorching 119.4 points per game. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, shooting 46.6% from the field and a stellar 37% from three-point range during this stretch. The Celtics have also played stingy defense, holding opponents to just 110.5 points per game over their last 10 contests.
In stark contrast, the Washington Wizards have struggled mightily, losing 9 of their last 10 games (10% win rate). Their offense has sputtered, scoring only 109 points per game while shooting a pedestrian 45.3% from the field and a dismal 33% on three-pointers. Defensively, the Wizards have allowed a whopping 124.5 points per game during this 10-game stretch, further compounding their woes.
Given the Celtics' recent dominance and the Wizards' prolonged slump, the 15-point spread favoring Boston appears justified based on the current performance metrics. Unless Washington can drastically improve its offensive output and tighten up its porous defense, the surging Celtics should cover this hefty spread.
