Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards – play-in tournament live streaming

The 17 times champions Boston Celtics will take on Washington Wizards in their quest for the spot in the playoffs. Boston Celtics are currently standing in 7th place in the Eastern Conference while the Washington Wizards are in the 8th position. The winner of these two will confirm his place in the playoffs while the loser will have another chance to make it into the main round. Here, in this article, we will provide all the live streaming sources where you can watch the Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards play-in tournament game.

Boston Celtics have been one of the promising teams in recent years, making in three Eastern Conference finals in the last four years. But this year, they have fallen far below the standard they had set. Boston Celtics started the season with a bang, having a 7-3 record after the first 10 games of the season. But the season-ending injury to their star player Jaylen Brown set them back heavily. And letting Gordon Hayward to the Charlotte Hornets for free is also proving to be a costly mistake. The consequences of these blunders are showing up in the form of the Celtics having to play the play-in tournament for their place in the conference finals.

On the other hand, Washington Wizards did not have the start they were looking after. The Wizards were pretty dreadful at the beginning of the season, failing to win any of their first five games. But slowly, as the season progressed, the Capital team started to make their mark and now they have the chance to qualify for the playoffs. After the mid of the regular season, nobody was giving the Wizards a chance but they are now favorites to qualify for the playoffs.

Boston Celtics season Review

Boston Celtics are one of the most dominant teams in the NBA in a decade or so, though their trophy columns do not really show the progress. The Celtics reached the Conference finals 3 times in the last four years. They lost to the Miami Heat in the conference finals last year by the score of 4-2. But this year, the Celtics have not been able to perform considerably well and their inconsistency and buckling down at the crucial moments has thrown them out of the top six. 

The Celtics have very deservingly found themselves in the play-in tournament and it will be a surprise if they do go past the in-form Washington Wizards.

This season, many teams have been affected by the injuries but they have learned to move on and perform well in tough situations but the Celtics seemed to be one who has not adjusted to life without their star player Jaylen Brown, who suffered a season-ending wrist injury. Jaylen Brown will be unavailable for the play-in tournament. And secondly losing Gordon Hayward to the Charlotte Hornets, and that too for free was the big mistake on the part of Celtics’ management.

The only positive this season has been their talisman, Jayson Tatum. Tatum along with the fellow 31 years old point guard, Kemba Walker have been instrumental in the Celtics wins lately. Most of the offensive load of the Celtics has been done by these two. While Marcus Smart in the defense has also been able to help his team out in the crunch moments.

The Boston Celtics have lost five of their last six matches. And going into the play-in tournament, this bad form is a big concern against the hot-running Washington Wizards.   

Washington Wizards season review

After the acquisition of the current triple-double king, Russell Westbrook in the pre-season, the Wizards were tipped for a higher spot in the Eastern Conference but the nagging injuries to Russell Westbrook and the other team-mates made life difficult for the Wizards. And that clearly showed in the early half of the season, with the record further stumbling to 13-20 midway through the season. 

But with the return of Westbrook and Bradley Beal’s run at the scoring title, the Wizards climbed the table swiftly, becoming a threat for the other teams in the conference. 

Bradley Beal has averaged 31.4 points per game this season, ranking him the second-best shooter and only second to the Warriors Stephen Curry. 

Many experts believe that the Wizards will be a challenge for the title this season, after their recent dominant performances. It should be an easy walk for the Wizards against the depleted Celtics, considering how badly Celtics have performed lately. But you never know with the Wizards, as they can go to mute very quickly.

The Washington Wizards have one of the worst defenses in the whole league. And this is one area that the Celtics can exploit. The Washington Wizards head coach, Scott Brooks has lamented the importance of defense in winning the games and is hopeful that his team will perform better in this department in upcoming play-in matches. 

One thing that every Wizard’s fan is excited about is how Russell Westbrook will fair in the main rounds. Westbrook has always been involved in some dramatic moments and it will surely be no different this time around as well.

Key Duels in Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards

Jayson Tatum vs Bradley Beal

The two top scorers in the league will go head to head against one another in order to clinch a spot in the finals. Tatum single-handedly has carried the Celtics team to the play-in tournament after Jaylen Brown was ruled out for the rest of the season. 

Bradley Beal has also received enough support from his teammates. But still, he was able to notch crucial points for his team in the crunch moments.

It will be very interesting how the two will fair against each other when they will face each other on Tuesday night.

Russell Westbrook vs Marcus Smart

Russell Westbrook has been in fine form recently. And he comes to live in the playoffs, giving another edge to the Wizards. Russell Westbrook recently broke the record of Oscar Robertson for the most triple-double in the NBA. 

His match-up with Marcus Smart is one to be watched for.
