Sunday brings us another 8 NBA games with some really interesting match-ups. The defending Eastern Conference champions Celtics are in action against the Washington Wizards, while the LA Lakers are trying to win their first game of the season at home against Denver. Both of those games are featured in today’s Mega Parlay.
Head over to our NBA predictions page for Spread and Total picks on all 8 games tonight, but let's not waste any more time and jump straight into it.
Washington Wizards ML (+290)
At just 3-2 after 5 games played, the Celtics have shown weakness early on in the season especially on the defensive end where they've allowed 120+ points in 3 games in a row. Washington is a team certainly capable of putting up big numbers, they've scored 117 and 120 in their last 2 outings and against the Celtics they've actually split the 4 meetings last season. Washington won the first two meetings of the season, both of which were played in late October and one of those games was played at TD Garden.
Bradley Beal is putting up almost 31 points per game in the last 7 meetings with Boston, but he has a lot more help this time around with 4 teammates averaging double-digit points. With Malcolm Brogdon potentially missing tonight's game, that is one worry less on the defensive for Beal who has had two 40+ point game at TD Garden in his last 4 visits. If he can produce at a high level tonight, the Wizards are more than capable of shocking the confidence lacking Celtics here.
