Nets at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nets 131, Wizards 115
Money line (ML)
This game seems like a lock for the Nets, considering Brooklyn is No. 2 in the Eastern Conference and Washington has the worst record in the entire NBA; however, one of Washington’s three wins this season was over Brooklyn Jan. 3.
That said, the Wizards have lost four in a row and the Nets have won four straight. Even potentially without Harden, the Nets should roll, especially if they remember the earlier loss. Take the NETS (-350).
Against the spread (ATS)
Neither team has been a consistent bet to cover the spread. Brooklyn is only 9-12 ATS and Washington is 6-9 ATS.
Washington’s record against the spread is much better than its actual record but the Wizards did not cover the spread in any of their four loss in their current losing skid. The Nets should not have much problem in a blowout win. Take the NETS -7.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Nets are the highest-scoring team in the NBA, averaging 121.0 points per game. They also have the second-highest Over percentage in the league at 71.4%. Washington’s games have gone Over 60% of the time as well and the Wizards average 114.7 points per game themselves.
Both teams like to score and Washington allows the most points in the league at 120.1 per game. Take OVER 244.5 (-110).
