Energy, hustle, sharpshooting, rim-rattling dunks, and much more define the greatness that manifests in NBA every night. In this game, the Washington Wizards host the Boston Celtic in the back-to-back scenario between the two. More about WAS vs BOS Dream11 such as injury report, stats, and projected fantasy points will be given here.
Washington Wizards have started in dominating fashion. The team beat an out-of-sync Boston Celtics in the last game and acquisitions of Caldwell-Pope, Kuzma, and Harrell have given the team much-needed depth and hustle. Bradley Beal has struggled so far but hey, the rest of the team has picked up the slack. Early season projections may not translate in long-term but the Wizards squad has made things happen on both ends.
Celtics is struggling like last season? The team’s struggles are a mystery since they have scorers like Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Schroeder. A defensive big like Robert Williams also helps the case with his scoring and rebounding. What is not clicking? The team doesn’t capitalize upon their runs and looks out-of-sync on both ends. It is a long season and the players can find chemistry.

Bradley Beal, Montrezl Harrell are options for the Star/Pro Player in the Dream11 NBA fantasy scheme.
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown can score in bunches
*last game stats* Jayson Tatum (BOS) Points: 23 Rebounds: 07 Assists: 02 Jayson is slated to have another strong scoring season. However, his team performed below expectation last season and this year’s roster is yet to click. What else can Tatum do to help the Celtics? Expected Fantasy Points Range: 41-52
Montrezl Harrell (WAS) Points: 25 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 01 Blocks: 02 The undersized Center is one of the toughest bigs to guard in the paint. He has continued to be an effective option on the offensive and rebounding end. Will the former Sixth Player of the Year get to start with Daniel Gafford out? Expected Fantasy Points Range: 33-43
Jaylen Brown (BOS) Points: 13 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 01 Jaylen is coming off a lukewarm night but that doesn’t matter for the guard. He has had 46 points and a 30 points game before this season. You can count on Brown to bounce back sooner than later Expected Fantasy Points Range: 39-50
Bradley Beal (WAS) Points: 17 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 02 Steals: 03 Blocks: 01 Beal has shot only 36% so far and 17% from beyond the arc after being one of the two top scorers last season. However, the guard has done other things on the floor such as rebounding, playmaking, and defense. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 37-56
Dennis Schroeder (BOS) Points: 22 Rebounds: 01 Assists: 06 Steals: 02 Dennis is a top-notch offensive player who can score and dish assists. He has had an above-average beginning to his Celtics career but it remains to be seen when he and his squad will see more consistency. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-40
Spencer Dinwiddie(WAS) Points: 22 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 03 Steals: 01 Spencer has provided the Wizards the expected play when they signed him in the offseason. Spencer has already had a 34 point game before and his scoring is vital with Beal’s shooting suffering right now. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 29-36
Robert Williams III (BOS) Points: 13 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 01 Blocks: 04 Steals: 01 Williams has shown he can be a strong and physical defensive player and rebounder in the league. He can also have some decent offensive nights and the Celtics need him to lift the burden up-front. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 17-32
Kyle Kuzma(WAS) Points: 12 Rebounds: 08 Assists: 02 Steals: 02 Blocks: 01 Kuzma is averaging a points-rebounds double-double and he has certainly been a strong presence at the big-forward position. Kyle has already scooped up 11 rebounds or more in three games so far while he gives a viable scoring output too. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 32-38
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope(WAS) Points: 11 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 02 Kentavious has been a significant defensive upgrade at the guard position. He can also put up 10-14 points every game. The Westbrook trade isn’t looking so bad for the Wizards, is it? Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-26
Al Horford(BOS) Points: 16 Rebounds: 11 Assists: 04 Steals: 01 Blocks: 01 Despite being past his prime(or is he?), Al Horford has had a strong season. He is averaging around 14 PPG and 11 RPG. What more can you ask for? Expected Fantasy Points Range: 29-40
Davis Bertans (WAS) Points: 07 Rebounds: 03 Assists: 01 Bertans helps with his perimeter shooting off the bench. Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-14
