Someone has to pay for that performance, and San Antonio has the misfortune of being next on the itinerary.
DeRozan and Aldridge are certainly capable of exploding enough to keep up with the Celtics on offense. The main problem, however, lies on the defensive end of the floor with opposing teams averaging a 47.5 field goal shooting percentage against the Spurs. The Wizards might be a worse defensive team, but it hasn’t been by much. San Antonio has allowed 115.9 points per game on the road this season.
A better performance from Tatum and Hayward will help get the Celtics back on track offensively. The Spurs are too one-dimensional in this matchup against one of the best two-teams in basketball. I’m rolling with the Celtics on Wednesday.
Prediction: Boston Celtics will be the winner.
