The Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards duke it out at the Capital One Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Pick.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

The Brooklyn Nets have been in fine form as they've won seven of their last nine games overall, and they will be eager to stay hot after sneaking past the 76ers in a thrilling 105-103 road win on Saturday. Cameron Johnson led the team with 23 points, four rebounds and four assists, Nic Claxton and Trendon Watford scored 16 points each while Ziaire Williams chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Nets shot 50 percent from the field and seven of 28 from the 3-point line. The Nets looked to be in trouble when they squandered an early 17-point lead, but just as the clock was expiring, it was Claxton who saved the day with a clutch tip shot to steal the game for the Nets. 

Washington Wizards Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in horrible form, as they've lost 22 of their last 25 games. The Wizards will be hoping to put an end to a six-game slide after getting trampled by the Magic in a 110-90 road defeat last night. Jordan Poole led the team in scoring with 16 points, Bub Carrington added 13 points with five rebounds and four assists while Richaun Holmes chipped in with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Wizards shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line. It was good enough to hang with the Magic in the first half, but that all changed in the second half, where the Wizards were outscored by 61-43 to lose big in the end. Corey Kispert shot just three of 12 for his nine points, while Justin Champagnie shot just one of seven for his six points. The Wizards will play against the Trail Blazers after this game.

Why the Washington Wizards will win

  • The Wizards have won seven of their last eight games against the Nets at Capital One Arena following a loss.
  • The Nets have lost each of their last four road games against Eastern Conference opponents after winning as underdogs.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Wizards have covered the spread in each of their last four home games against the Nets following a road loss.

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

  • The Wizards have lost each of their last 27 games on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The road team has won 10 of the Wizards' last 11 games.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine home games on the second leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Nets have covered the spread in each of their last five games against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Wizards' last eight Monday home games has gone OVER the total points line.
  • Ten of the Nets' last 11 games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Prediction

The Nets are still missing Cam Thomas and D'Angelo Russell, while the Wizards have ruled out Alex Sarr, Khris Middleton, and Marcus Smart again. The Nets have opened as slight favorites, which is surprising given that they are actually playing some of their best basketball of the season to win seven of their last nine games. In contrast, the Wizards have continued their horror season with a blowout loss to the Magic where they scored just 90 points, so I think the Nets are great value at the short line in this one.
