San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been in a real funk as they've lost nine of their last 12 games overall, but they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Magic in a 112-111 road defeat on Saturday. Devin Vassell led the team with 25 points on 11 of 14 shooting, Harrison Barnes added 21 points while Victor Wembenyama chipped in with 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and four blocks. As a team, the Spurs shot 53 percent from the field and 13 of 30 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Magic from the start and looked to be in full control when they led by seven points late in the fourth quarter, but they didn't put the Magic away and it cost them as they got outscored by 10-2 in the final 3:22 to fall just short in a tough loss.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in decent shape as they've won three of their past five games but they will be looking to avoid a third straight loss after getting trashed by the Hawks in a 125-111 loss on Saturday. Bub Carrington led the team with 23 points and seven assists on nine of 13 shooting, Jordan Poole added 21 points with six assists while Bilal Coulibaly chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 36 from the 3-point line, but they had no answers for the Hawks on the defensive end as they allowed 37 points in the second quarter and another 41 points in the third quarter to get blown out at home. The Wizards will face the Pacers and Bucks following this one.

San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Spurs are still playing without Charles Bassey, while the Wizards have ruled out Anthony Gill and Alex Sarr once again. The Spurs haven't been able to build any momentum this season and they will be so disappointed with their loss to the struggling Magic, so they will surely welcome the opportunity to take on the lowly Wizards. Surely, the Spurs can run up a score against the Wizards' poor defense and get the much-needed win on the road, but I just don't think the Spurs should be so heavily favored against anyone the way they've been playing.
