Prediction
Warriors 126, Wizards 120
Moneyline (ML)
The Wizards (-209) enter Monday on just their third two-game winning streak of the season, but they’ve yet to win three in a row. They’ve gone 4-6 across their last 10 games to push into 10th place in the Eastern Conference and they’re 11-11 on home court for the season.
The WARRIORS (+180) are big road dogs, as usual, but they’re worth a small wager. They stomped the Cleveland Cavaliers 131-112 Saturday to snap a five-game losing skid. They’re just 4-22 on the road, but their odds are too high to pass up as the Wiz are receiving too much respect from the oddsmakers.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Warriors to win straight up returns a profit of $17.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The WARRIORS (+5.5, -110) can also be backed against the spread Monday, where they’ll need to stay within 5 points in a loss or win outright. Golden State is 24-26 ATS overall and 13-13 on the road. It has cover the spread in four of its last five games following an outright victory.
The Wizards are 24-23-1 ATS overall and 12-10 at home. Both teams last played Saturday and Golden State is 17-11 ATS when playing on equal rest as its opponent, while Washington is 14-17 in equal-rest situations.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 234.5 (-115) is Monday’s easiest play. The Warriors have allowed at least 112 points in each of their last six games. The Wizards average 115.7 PPG, and they allowed 152 and 151 points in back-to-back games against the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks last Sunday and Tuesday.
