This is going to be a very interesting game. We have seen some great games and playoff series between these teams in the past, and I think we are due for another one. The Wizards went on a tear to end the season, especially Westbrook. The Celtics lost their second best player in Jaylen Brown, and are also missing their backup center Robert Williams. The Wizards are fully healthy, and playing a team that has struggled all season and not lived up to expectations. I do think Tatum will have a big game as he tends to do when the pressure is on, but that the Wizards’ momentum and individual play of Westbrook will be too much for the Celtics. Also, Westbrook tends to be dominant against smaller guards like Kemba Walker. Take the Wizards +2, over 233 total points, Kemba Walker under 24.5 points, and Russell Westbrook over 23.5 points.
