Wizards playing better despite skid with contending Celtics up next

The Washington Wizards have had a hard time winning basketball games this season. Road victories have been especially rare, as all but five of the team's 16 wins have come at home.

The Wizards can end two lengthy losing streaks when they visit the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. Washington enters that contest on a 10-game losing streak and has lost eight in a row on the road.

Washington's last two wins both came against Indiana, the only team below the Wizards in the Eastern Conference standings.
