The NBA has effectively tipped off in earnest over Christmas weekend with both the players and the owners ultimately coming to a deal. The NBA welcoming committee visits to the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. when the Celts (1-3) battle against the Washington Wizards (0-3).

As their 56-26 record got them bounced from the Eastern Conference Semifinals 4-1 by the Heat, the Boston celtics come into the game trying to recover from a discouraging year last year. As Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are in the final year of their individual contracts, this year symbolizes a turning point for the Boston celtics. It is improbable that the Boston celtics will be able to resign both players as the “Big 3″ era could come to a close. In this young year, the Boston celtics are lead by Ray Allen and his usual long distance pyrotechnics. Star point guard Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce supply a regular complimentary force behind Allen. The wear and tear of 15 prior NBA seasons could be catching up with Kevin Garnett, who has gotten off to a slow beginning. Guard Keyon Dooling has provided a great shooting spark off of the bench. The Boston celtics come in averaging 96.3 PPG and permitting 100.8 PPG.

The Washington Wizards this season are averaging 82.7 PPG, which is one of the worst showings in the league. Washington is permitting 97.7 PPG on average, which is somewhat better than the Boston celtics. Guards Nick Young and John Wall pace the balanced Washington Wizards attack.
