When it comes to professional sports of any kind, there is always an advantage to be gained by playing in your own building. There is a feeling of familiarity when playing there, not to mention the fact that the fans can make it feel as though you have an extra man on your team. The Boston Celtics were the surprise number 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, ensuring that they would have home court advantage all the way to the NBA Finals, assuming of course that they were able to make it that far. While they were not particularly convincing against the Bulls in the opening round, Boston appear to have found their groove, and head to Washington with a 2-0 series lead after winning their opening two games of the series at home. The Wizards are certainly under some pressure now, and will probably need to win both of their home games if they are to make a series of this one. Game 3 will tip-off at the Verizon Center in Washington on Thursday night. Find the latest NBA betting lines here.
