The Washington Wizards did not play an Eastern Conference opponent until their sixth game of the season when they hosted the Detroit Pistons.
Now, they’re heading up to Boston to take on their third Eastern Conference foe in three games. Currently, they’re 1-1 against the East. Can the Wizards get on the winning side of .500?
Despite losing some key pieces in the offseason—Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Terry Rozier—the Boston Celtics are still looking like one of the East’s top teams. At 8-1, they have the best record in the NBA and are riding an eight-game winning streak.
