The matchup vs. the Celtics is a hard one; they have allowed the 2nd-least points per game in the NBA to the opposition's starting PFs this year (14.5).The Wizards will likely see a decline in possessions in this contest from facing the 3rd-most lethargic tempo offense in the league since the start of last season (the Celtics).The Washington Wizards have been the 3rd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further chances for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Boston is a difficult one for getting to the free-throw line; the opposing team's starting PFs have attempted a measly 3.1 free throws per game this year when the Celtics are the visiting squad (8th-least in the NBA).
