This Sunday, the Boston Celtics will host the Washington Wizards at TD Garden in a matchup with little at stake. The Celtics, already positioned for a playoff run as the second seed in the Eastern Conference, will face a Wizards team that has been eliminated from postseason contention. Nevertheless, the game holds intrigue with familiar faces: Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon, former Celtics, now wearing Washington's colors, while Kristaps Porzingis takes the court for Boston. Recent performances suggest Boston must remain vigilant; the Wizards recently secured a win against the Kings. Injury updates indicate potential absences for key players, including Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum for Boston, which could affect their playoff preparations.
