The Boston Celtics will look to win a third straight game Wednesday night before the NBA's All-Star break, but Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are standing in their way.

The Celtics will be shorthanded again for their final matchup before the All-Star break against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Three players were listed on Boston’s injury report which was released on Tuesday with starting guard Jrue Holiday being ruled out for the fourth straight game with a shoulder injury.

Despite winning six of its past seven games, Boston has dropped three of its past four at TD Garden, contributing to an underwhelming 16-10 home record.

This should be a fairly easy win for Boston, so long as they play with the level of respect San Antonio deserves -- but will they?

The San Antonio Spurs play against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. The San Antonio Spurs are spending $7,122,132 per win while the Boston Celtics are spending $5,159,262 per win.
