KEY GAME INFORMATION
BOSTON: GUARDS: RAJON RONDO is the last man standing in Boston. Coming off a torn ACL and with a weakened supporting cast, it's going to be a long year . . . AVERY BRADLEY is the favorite to start alongside Rondo. He's still lost on offense, but his defense will be much needed . . . COURTNEY LEE continues to tease with flashes of talent, but hasn't shown consistency and is no longer 'young' . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD will hoist a lot of shots . . . MARSHON BROOKS fell out of favor in Brooklyn and is just hanging on to an NBA roster spot . . . KEITH BOGANS is in Boston because a new deal made the numbers work on the Nets trade . . . Local product PHIL PRESSEY, an undersized point guard, will try to stick as a back-up. FORWARDS: Suddenly, JEFF GREEN is Boston's first option on offense. He showed an ability to score with 20.1 PPG over 17 starts last season, but he'll be in for a whole new world of attention as the only legitimate scorer on this team . . . BRANDON BASS should continue to hold down the power forward spot, and he'll get to take more shots with the team rebuilding . . . Durability is a major issue for JARED SULLINGER, but he has a chance to play big minutes for a team in need of his offensive skill set . . . A washed-up vet with arguably the worst contract in the NBA, GERALD WALLACE is of little use to the Celtics (or any other team) . . . KRIS HUMPHRIES is also dead weight, but is a more enticing trade chip due to an expiring contract. CENTERS: Rookie KELLY OLYNYK is going to get pushed around, but he has some rare shooting and ball-handling skills for a 7-footer. Boston has little to lose by letting him learn on the job . . . VITOR FAVERANI is a tough-nosed Euro import who gives them insurance behind Olynyk.
WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season.

*Celtics-Wizards Preview* =========================

By ELI KABERON STATS Writer

Boston (14-28) at Washington (20-20), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Four times this season, the Washington Wizards have had a chance to win a game that would put them over .500.

All four times they have lost.

On Wednesday night, the Wizards have a fifth chance to crack the break-even mark when they host the struggling Boston Celtics.

'It's not a magical thing (where) I think all of a sudden fairy dust is going to fall on us if we get over .500 (and) we're not going to lose another game," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "We just got to continue to play the right way. That's all I want to do."

The Wizards (20-20) have won four of five to get in position for their first winning record since Oct. 31, 2009, when they were 2-1.

Improved defense has been the biggest key lately for Washington, which has held its last five opponents to 96.2 points per game on 44.9 percent shooting, both improvements on the team's season averages.

A strong rebounding effort led to a 107-99 win over Philadelphia on Monday. The Wizards pulled down 53 boards, leading to 44 points in the paint and 12 second-chance points. Bradley Beal led the way with 22 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, while Marcin Gortat chipped in with 19 points and 11 boards.

In its four previous chances to eclipse the .500 mark, Washington lost to Detroit twice, along with Milwaukee and Dallas. Three of those games were at home, as will this matchup against a Celtics team that has lost its last 10 road contests.

"Every time we talk about being a .500 team and finally getting over .500, we have teams coming in here and just punking our butts," Gortat said. "We're done with that. We just have to focus on what we need to do to win a game."

Boston (14-29) has dropped three straight games and 15 of its last 17 overall. The issue in Tuesday's 93-86 loss at Miami was poor outside shooting, as the Celtics missed 22 of 27 from 3-point range.

Brandon Bass scored a team-best 15 points off the bench, with Kris Humphries adding 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Chris Johnson, who was called up from the D-League and was signed to a 10-day contract Friday, made his Boston debut, scoring a career-high 11 points off the bench.

"He brought a lot of energy," Bass said of Johnson. "He showed a lot of hunger. If he keeps playing like that, he'll have a future in this league."

The team is still trying to break in point guard Rajon Rondo, who returned Friday after missing the start of the season rehabbing from ACL surgery. Rondo played a season-high 25:43 against the Heat, but missed all eight of his field-goal attempts and finished with one point.

Boston's 10-game road skid is its longest since a 12-game slide Jan. 7-Feb. 24, 2007.

The Wizards ended a seven-game losing streak to the Celtics with a 106-99 road victory Dec. 21. Boston has won three straight in Washington.
