Celtics vs. Wizards: Free live stream, TV, how to watch

Wizards #Wizards

The Celtics are on a three-game winning streak as they’ve blown out all of their opponents in recent games. They now take on another sub-.500 foe in the Wizards, whose playoff and play-in dreams are all but extinguished. The C’s should also be right at full strength with Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard returning from absences. Boston is two games behind the first-place Bucks for the No. 1 seed with seven games left in the season. But the C’s still have a chance to catch the Bucks in the standings.
