Boston at Washington

The first few games of the season have been a surprise for many teams. Along with the Nuggets and Lakers, Boston is winless thus far. Today is the day that changes for the Celtics. The Wizards are again without John Wall, and in his place is a rookie that won't have much of an impact early in the season. In their opener without Wall, the Wizards shot just 35.6% from the field. Given that Boston's problems have been exclusively on the defensive end, this is a get-healthy game for them. As a moneyline underdog of +145 to +350, Washington is just 12-54 the past three seasons. Since last season, the Wizards are 3-13 straight-up following a double-digit road loss. While covering this spread is in question, I don't question the game outcome. Take the Celtics to win this game outright.
