Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Prediction
I don’t want to lay this number in the NBA, but backing the Wizards on the end of a back-to-back isn’t the move either. The Knicks are at home with the rest advantage and they’re 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Wizards. The Wizards haven’t beaten the Knicks since January 2023. The Knicks beat the Wizards on the road last month by 31 points. The Wizards are 30-40 ATS on the season. Huge number and ones I usually stay away from. However, it has to be the Knicks or pass for me in this spot.
