The Washington Wizards and the Brooklyn Nets duke it out at the Barclays Center on Saturday afternoon. Here’s a Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards look like they have moved on from their nine-game losing streak as they have now won four of their last six games overall after running past the Pistons in a 126-117 road win on Thursday. Will Riley led the team with 20 points, six rebounds and five assists on nine of 14 shooting off the bench, Sharife Cooper added 18 points with five assists off the bench while Justin Champagnie chipped in with 14 points.
As a team, the Wizards shot 54 percent from the field and 18 of 41 from the 3-point line as they opened the game with an 11-2 run and stormed out to a 22-point lead. However, they lost their focus for a moment and saw their lead get cut all the way down to just one point. Fortunately, the Wizards responded with 39 points in the third quarter to pull away and secure the major upset win on the road as double digit underdogs.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been absolutely ice-cold as they’ve lost 18 of their last 21 games overall and they are now on a three-game slide after getting trampled by the Magic in a 118-98 road defeat on Thursday. Egor Demin led the team with 26 points on eight of 12 shooting, Nolan Traore added 21 points with seven assists while Nic Claxton chipped in with 14 points.
As a team, the Nets shot 41 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled for offense from the tipoff and were always fighting an uphill battle after falling behind by 16 points going into halftime. Michael Porter Jr had a night to forget as he shot just two of 13 from the field for his nine points while Noah Clowney finished scoreless on zero of six shooting from the field.

Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Wizards are still missing several players, with Trae Young, Cam Whitmore, Tre Johnson out. They are keeping an eye on Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr, who are both questionable, while the Nets expect to have a full squad for this contest. The Wizards have been severely shorthanded for a while now, but that hasn’t stopped them from playing some decent basketball in recent games.
They would’ve taken so much confidence from their big upset win over the Pistons on Thursday, which is more than you can say about the Nets, who have arguably been the coldest team in the league. I am going with the Wizards to pull away late for the win and cover on the road.
