BOS vs WAS Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards

BOS vs WAS Dream11: Hey NBA lovers, how is it going for you? I hope everyone is good. The Playoffs are nearing and the intensity has picked up which makes for interesting battles day in and day out. Without further adieu, let us jump into the match-up between the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards.

The Celtics have lost Robert Williams at least till the third week of April which can cause certain defensive fluctuations during the Playoffs. It doesn’t mean that the team isn’t going to be a force from here on and they have a high chance of making a deep run.

On the other hand, the Wizards have been doing well these days, winning four of their last five games, which has been a rare feat for them since mid-November. However, they are already out of the Playoffs and these recent gains are only decorative at this point.

Host: Boston Celtics
Visitors: Washington Wizards
Match Timing: 3 April, @ 10:30 PM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Match-ups
The Wizards can wreak havoc with Kristaps Porzingis in the middle who has been on fire these days. However, Al Horford and Daniel Theis can still make it tough for the impressive Center. On the other hand, the Wizards lack consistency at the guard positions and they lack a strong two-way Point Guard at this juncture. Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown form a strong pairing as the two guards and Brown has been on fire in terms of scoring the ball while Marcus has been a strong playmaker and defender as well.

One area where the Wizards will have trouble match-up to the Celtics is the wing position where Jayson Tatum can make huge inroads although his status for the match is still up in the air. The Wizards bench has done rather decently with Advija, Gafford, and Smith. On the other hand, the Celtics keep their defensive theme going with Derrick White at the guard position off the bench. Let us see how the teams shape up here!

Where to watch NBA Live Score?

Isn’t it fun to watch Kristaps Porzingis wreaking havoc in the middle while the defense of the Celtics shutting everyone down? In the not the most exciting piece of news, Indian NBA online services Voot and JIO TV are not going to display this game. Meanwhile, TV outlets MTV and VH1 are also not going to show this game. Where can you watch this match? I recommend access to the NBA League Pass, where you can purchase the annual subscription and dive through all the live games while also watching the full-game replays afterward.
