Losers of five of their last six games, the Celtics will host the Wizards Tuesday night in the No. 7 vs. 10 play-in game.
The winner will advance and face the No. 2 seeded Nets, while the loser will play the winner of the Hornets-Pacers game and the winner of that will face the No. 1 seeded 76ers.
When it comes to picking Tuesday's game, NBA experts do not seem to have much confidence in the Celtics.
ESPN polled 16 of its analysts and only four picked the Celtics. Then over at Sports Illustrated, only one of seven analysts picked them.
With that being said, the Celtics are currently two-point favorites.
They will obviously be without star Jalen Brown, who just had left Scapholunate Ligament Surgery, and Robert Williams, who has a left foot injury.
The Celtics went 2-1 against the Wizards during the regular season, but they have a 16-6 record since April 7 so they are one of the hottest teams in the league.
