Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards Prediction NBA Picks 11/4/24

The Golden State Warriors invade the Capital One Arena to take on the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Here’s a Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include a Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards Pick.

The Golden State Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the league as they’ve won five of their first six games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Rockets in a thrilling 127-121 overtime win on Saturday. Jonathan Kuminga led the team with 23 points on seven of 12 shooting off the bench, Andrew Wiggins added 15 points, Draymond Green tallied 14 points with 11 rebounds while Brandin Podziemski chipped in with 12 points and six assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 51 percent from the field and 15 of 32 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered a 31-point lead, but they kept their composure and restricted the Rockets to just two points in overtime to escape with the narrow road win. 

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have lost three of their first five games of the season and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting scorched by the Heat in a 118-98 home loss on Saturday. Bilal Coulibaly led the team with 22 points on eight of 12 shooting, Jordan Poole added 21 points while Alex Sarr chipped in with 17 points on seven of 11 shooting but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Wizards shot just 41 percent from the field and seven of 35 from the 3-point line as they struggled against the Heat’s defense from the start, scoring just 21 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits before they got blown out in the second half. Kyshawn George had a rough game as he scored just six points on two of nine shooting while Carlton Carrington scored just four points on two of nine shooting. 

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

• The Wizards have lost 19 of their last 20 night games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
• The Warriors have won each of their last eight games against teams that held a losing record.
• The Warriors have covered the spread in each of their last six games as favorites against Southeast Division opponents.
• The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five night games at Capital One Arena.

The Warriors could still be shorthanded with Stephen Curry currently listed as questionable, while the Wizards are still missing Kyle Kuzma and they have Marvin Bagley listed as questionable. The Warriors have emerged as the hottest team in the Western Conference despite losing Curry to injury and a lot of credit has to go to Podziemski who has filled in nicely. The Wizards were on a two-game win streak before they got routed by the Heat on Saturday and I think we’re about to see a similar result here. The line is hefty, but the Warriors are in a groove right now and should have no trouble winning by double digits against the shorthanded Wizards.
