Washington at Boston

Washington has a losing road record and the team is 1-10-1 ATS when playing on one day of rest. Boston is strong on defense, #12 in field goal shooting allowed, plus second in the NBA at defending the three-pointer. Washington star John Wall is shooting 36.8 percent in the three meetings with Boston. Boston is in bounce-back mode after losing to the 76ers yesterday, but the Celtics are 43-20-1 ATS when playing the second of a back-to-back. All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas (knee) didn't play but is expected back tonight. The home team has won each of the first three meetings, with Boston picking up a 117-108 victory at TD Garden in January, while Washington failing to cover the last four meetings in Boston. Take Boston.
