The Washington Wizards are set to face the Boston Celtics, but they will be without Kyle Kuzma, who has missed the last six games due to a rib injury. This marks Kuzma's seventh consecutive game out of the lineup.

The Wizards are struggling this season, holding the worst record in the league at 3-20, and have only won one of their last ten games. In contrast, the Celtics are thriving, currently sitting second in the Eastern Conference with a 20-5 record.
