Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be eager to arrest a five-game losing streak after getting beaten by the Knicks in a 110-107 road defeat last night. Brandin Podziemski led the team with 25 points and six assists, Quinten Post added 22 points on nine of 16 shooting while Gui Santos chipped in with 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 49 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 35 points in the first quarter to lead by as many as 21 points, but they allowed the Knicks back into the contest and fell short in the fourth quarter where they were always trailing by just one or two possessions. Malevy Leons had a rough game of just two points on one of seven shooting.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been ice-cold lately as they’ve dropped 13 of their last 15 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a 10-game losing streak after getting routed by the Celtics in a 111-1000 road defeat on Saturday. Tristan Vukcevic led the team with 22 points on seven of nine shooting off the bench, Jamir Watkins added 15 points on six of 11 shooting while Bilal Coulibaly chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the start and got blown out by 35-14 in a nightmare second quarter and they couldn’t get going at all until they fell behind by 30 points.
Golden State v Washington Free Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis, while the Wizards have ruled out Alex Sarr, Anthony Davis, Kyshawn George and Cam Whitmore again. The Warriors are playing their second game of a back to back set and they are mired in their worst slump of the season, but they still open as heavy road favorites in this one as the Wizards are just so cold at the moment. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence right now, but I think the Warriors earn a much needed victory in this one behind big games from Podziemski and Post.
