Washington Wizards versus Celtics in Jan 1 NBA Sports Betting
Jan3
The unsightly specter of the Lockout had loomed huge over the NBA landscape until recently. With both the players and the owners at last arriving at an agreement, the NBA has effectively tipped off in earnest over Christmas weekend. The NBA welcoming committee visits to the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. when the Celtics (1-3) face the Wizards (0-3). Both squads come into play with shaky records and a slow start to the season. The sports book appears to have the nod on the greater team as the line now stands – Boston (-7) 184 ½ .

The Boston celtics come into the game trying to bounce back from a disappointing season a year ago as their 56-26 record got them bounced from the Eastern Conference Semifinals 4-1 by the Heat. This year symbolizes a turning point for the Boston celtics as Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are in the final year of their individual contracts. It is unlikely that the Boston celtics will be able to resign both players as the “Big 3″ era might come to a close. In this youthful season, the Boston celtics are lead by Ray Allen and his usual long-distance pyrotechnics. Star point guard Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce provide a steady complimentary force behind Allen. Kevin Garnett has gotten off to a slow start, but the wear and tear of 15 prior NBA seasons could be catching up with him. Guard Keyon Dooling has supplied an excellent shooting spark off of the bench. The Boston celtics come in averaging 96.3 PPG and giving up 100.8 PPG.

The Washington Wizards come into play trying to right the good ship formerly identified as the Bullets. Washington had a sub-par 23-59 season a year ago but was buoyed by the breakout of superstar shooting guard Nick Young who averaged more than 20 ppg until going down with injury. The Washington Wizards this year are averaging 82.7 PPG, which is among the worst showings in the league. Washington is giving up 97.7 PPG on average, which is slightly better than the Boston celtics. Guards Nick Young and John Wall level the balanced Washington Wizards attack.
