The Celtics have done their best to keep up with the first-place Toronto Raptors, winning six of their last eight games straight up and against the spread, but they’re still losing ground in the East. They could also be without their best player on Wednesday; point guard Kyrie Irving missed the second half of Sunday’s 99-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers (+5 away) with a sore left knee that’s been bothering him for a while.
Washington has been without their superstar point guard for over six weeks, also because of a left knee injury. John Wall hasn’t played since January 25 after undergoing surgery, although he could return any time now; the Wizards are 12-7 SU and 12-6-1 ATS since Wall went under the knife, but only 2-4 SU and 2-3-1 ATS in their past six games.
NBA Odds: Will Irving Play for Boston Against the Wiz?
The Boston Celtics (46-21 SU, 40-25-2 ATS) have fallen 3.5 games out of first in the Eastern Conference, and they might not have Kyrie Irving in the lineup for Wednesday’s home game against the No. 5 Washington Wizards (38-29 SU, 32-34-1 ATS). ESPN has the coverage at 8 PM ET.
Irving has been bothered by a sore left knee, and he was taken out of Sunday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers during the first half. His status for Wednesday is unknown at press time; John Wall (knee) is also uncertain for Washington after missing over six weeks of action.
