With Bradley Beal’s extension signed, and the Washington Wizards focused on a competitive season, matchups against the Boston Celtics will prove to be crucial. They were already an Eastern Conference contender before adding All-Star point guard Kemba Walker in free agency.

With Walker at the helm, and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on a continuous incline, the Celtics will be one of the Wizards’ tougher Eastern Conference opponents this season.
One advantage? They’re no longer home to Kyrie Irving or Al Horford, the latter often dubbed the Celtics’ best player during his tenure in Boston.
