Celtics Aiming For Home Win, Face Wizards
The Washington Wizards will host the Boston Celtics at Capital One Arena on Saturday evening.

The Wizards (4-1) have looked impressive of late, winning 80 percent of their games and going 2-0 at home so far. They're coming off a 122-111 against the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week. Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 27 points, supplementing them with eight rebounds, eight assists and one block. Montrezl Harrell posted a 25-point, 13-rebound double-double that also included five assists, two steals and one block. Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope generated matching 21-point, eight-rebound tallies. Davis Bertans led the bench with 10 points. Washington has scored at least 115 points in three of their last four games.

The Celtics (2-3) have gone 2-1 on the road this season. Boston is coming off a 116-107 loss against the Wizards earlier this week, and while that ended a two-game winning streak, they've gone 2-3 thus far. Jayson Tatum had 23 points to lead the losing cause against Washington, and he also added seven rebounds and two assists. Al Horford had 16 points and Robert Williams III chipped in with 13 points -- both added 11 rebounds as well, and it's worth highlighting that Williams also mustered four blocks. Dennis Schroder contributed 22 points while coming off the bench, and Jaylen Brown supplied 13 points with four boards.
