The Boston Celtics look to keep their current win streak against some of the top teams in the Eastern Conference standings with a tilt vs. a lowlier member of the East in the District of Columbia’s Capital One Arena on this Thursday (Dec. 4) night.<\/p>\n

That team, the Washington Wizards<\/a>, is currently one of the worst ball clubs in the entire NBA in terms of their winning percentage. But the Celtics could well be without the most important player on their team this season, with a key player potentially sidelined by a non-COVID illness. The Celtics ought to be able to win either way, but the margin of error will be much smaller if this player sits, as wins by the Wiz over the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> and Atlanta Hawks attest.<\/p>\n
