On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics are set to host the Washington Wizards in their regular-season finale at the TD Garden. Throughout this season's encounters between these two teams, the Celtics have emerged victorious each time, and they are now looking to secure a perfect sweep this year.

Given that this is the season finale, it's a game that fans won't want to miss.

Unfortunately, the Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum, who has been sidelined due to injury and will not be able to compete against the Wizards.

Nevertheless, the Celtics have exhibited sterling performance throughout the season, earning them the top spot in the NBA. As the playoffs beckon, they are well-positioned for a run for the NBA Finals.


Having secured the best NBA record and pocketing six wins out of their last eight games, the Celtics are in high spirits as they approach Sunday's finale.

This record, the best in the league, should inspire confidence for the Celtics, irrespective of the key players that sit out.


Similar to their opponents, the Celtics are dealing with several injuries in this game. With six players already declared unfit for the match, it may be a difficult contest. The injured players include a trio of stars - Brown, Tatum, and Porzingis.
