Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Wizards could be a little shorthanded with Khris Middleton still listed as questionable, while the Knicks don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. The Wizards have been cold lately, and their confidence took another gut shot after getting trounced by the Magic in an ugly loss on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Knicks were able to get back to winning ways with a solid win over the red-hot Bulls last night.
The line seems hefty for this one, but I can’t imagine anything but an easy win for the healthy Knicks. They need to run through these types of teams if they want to be serious about the playoffs this season. Give me the Knicks to back up last night’s effort with another strong one here.
