Nets at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 119, Wizards 111
Moneyline
I’ll PASS on the moneyline given the current odds for the Nets (-210). Brooklyn has been the much better team as of late, but taking them straight up isn’t advised.
Against the spread
NETS -5.5 (-105) is an enticing wager considering how Brooklyn has been playing recently. The Nets will have F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving back on the court Monday while the Wizards still won’t have Beal available.
The Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record and they are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings with the Wizards.
Over/Under
Even with Beal ruled out for tonight’s game, OVER 228.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this contest. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating, so plenty of points could be scored in this game.
The Wizards are 3-0-2 to the Over in their last 5 games and they are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.
