Celtics (-13) to cover: Given Boston’s solid performance and consistency, they are expected to cover the 13-point spread, especially with the Wizards still working to find their rhythm.

Take the Under (234.5): The game’s point total is 234.5 points, which feels a bit high given last season’s combined averages. The Celtics and Wizards averaged 234.3 points per game last year, while their opponents combined for 232.2 points. Given these stats, betting on the under (234.5) seems like a good bet.
