The matchup vs. the Celtics is a tough one; they have allowed the 2nd-least points per game in the league to opposing starting PFs this year (14.5).The Washington Wizards are expected to experience a decrease in possessions in this contest from competing against the most sluggish tempo team in the league this year (the Celtics).The Wizards have been the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games playing at home (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, the other team's starting PFs have attempted 3.1 free throws per game (8th-lowest in the NBA) against the Celtics, making it tough to get to the foul line.
