Washington Wizards vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

The Spurs obviously have the ability to blow the doors off, and I don’t want to back a Wizards side that’s 8-16 ATS on the season as much as the next guy. However, this is a quick turnaround for a young Spurs team that just lost in the NBA Cup. The Spurs were in control of that game and then fell apart in the fourth quarter. It will be interesting to see how they get off the canvas. The Wizards have covered 5 of their last 7 games as a double-digit underdog. The Spurs are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. Give me the points with the Wizards.
