The Brooklyn Nets pay a visit to the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena on Saturday 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 a major slump as they've lost 16 of their last 18 games overall, and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after getting thrashed by the Clippers in a 132-100 home defeat last night. Keon Johnson led the team with 13 points, while Cameron Johnson and Drew Timme scored 11 points each, but no other player scored more than eight points. As a team, the Nets shot a miserly 37 percent from the field and 14 of 47 from the 3-point line as they struggled early and trailed by 20 points going into halftime. Before they leaked another 37 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 41 points at one stage. Jalen Wilson had a night to forget as he shot just one of 10 from the field to finish with just eight points. The Nets will face the Mavericks following this one.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in a slump of their own, as they've lost six of their last seven games overall. They will be hoping for a better effort after getting completely demolished by the Pacers in a 162-109 home defeat on Thursday. Alex Sarr led the team in scoring with 22 points, Jordan Poole added 18 points, while Justin Champagnie chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line, but they had no answer for the Pacers' hot shooting all night. They simply got dominated from start to finish to suffer their worst defeat of the season.

Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Nets have again ruled out Noah Clowney and Day'Ron Sharpe, while the Wizards have ruled out Khris Middleton, Saddiq Bey, and Corey Kispert, with Marcus Smart also listed as questionable. You couldn't back either side with any confidence these days, as both teams have been ice-cold. On the one hand, we have the Nets, who are playing on zero days' rest after losing by 32 points to the Clippers last night. Then, there are the Wizards, who just allowed 162 points in an ugly loss to the Pacers on Thursday. This is definitely a game I would rather stay away from, but I am leaning towards the Wizards if Smart is able to start for them in this one.
