Washington Wizards Betting Preview

The Washington Wizards look to have moved on from their ugly 16-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a third straight victory after outlasting the Hornets in a 124-114 road win on Monday. Bilal Coulibaly led the team with 26 points on nine of 16 shooting, Corey Kispert added 25 points off the bench while Kyle Kuzma chipped in with 22 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 17 of 51 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early and never looked in danger after dominating the second quarter by 46-25 to open a 26-point lead. The only minor blemish from the dominant win was Jordan Poole who shot just two of 11 from the field for his six points and three turnovers. 

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets look to have moved on from their seven-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a season-high fourth straight victory after outlasting the Rockets in a 99-97 home win last night. Keon Johnson led the team with 22 points, Nic Claxton and Tosan Evbuomwan each scored 14 points, while D'Angelo Russell chipped in with 10 points and five assists. As a team, the Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line as they scored just 44 points in the first half to trail for most of the game before they closed the final 28.2 seconds on an 8-3 run to escape with the unlikely win thanks to a clutch 3-pointer from Russell with just 3.1 seconds left. The Nets will face the Heat following this one.

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

  • The Wizards have lost each of their last 11 games against Atlantic Division opponents.
  • The Nets have won 14 of their last 15 games as home favorites against Southeast Division opponents.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four road games against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Nets have covered the spread in five of their last six games as favorites when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Why the Washington Wizards will win

  • The Wizards have won three of their last four games as road underdogs against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six home games on the second leg of a back-to-back after winning as underdogs.
  • The road team has covered the spread in five of the Wizards' last six games.

Total Points Facts

  • Four of the Wizards' last five games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Wizards are still missing Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley, while the Nets are still missing Cameron Johnson and Ben Simmons. The Wizards have struggled mightily for most of the season so far, but they are coming into this one looking for a third straight win and you could say the same about the Nets who just beat the Rockets for their third straight win. I still couldn't trust either side with any confidence despite the recent wins, but the Nets are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, so I will lean towards the Wizards in a close one.
