The Golden State Warriors (21-22) visit the Washington Wizards (18-25) Monday. Tip-off from Capital One Arena is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Wizards odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Warriors suffered a 4th loss in their last 5 games when they were blown out 132-118 Sunday at the Chicago Bulls. Golden State actually didn’t play nearly as poorly as the score suggests, but its inability to stop C Nikola Vucevic was an issue as he poured in 43 points.
The Wizards are coming off a 112-108 home loss to the New York Knicks Friday. That loss also marks their 4th in their last 5 games, although they had won 5 in a row from Dec. 23-Jan. 1. F Kyle Kuzma put up 40 points in the loss but as a team, Washington shot just 38.7% from the floor.

Warriors at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 124, Wizards 118
Moneyline
LEAN WARRIORS (-140).
The Warriors are the better team here and should win this game even as the away team. Golden State has been abysmal on the road this season and that is something that will start to turn around after this game as the Warriors get closer and closer to being fully healthy. Expect Golden State to secure a much-needed road win to stay in the playoff race in the West.
LEAN WARRIORS -2.5 (-108).
Both of these teams have been bad ATS recently, as the Warriors are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 road games and the Wizards 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. I lean toward Golden State here because I believe they will push to have a statement game against a solid team and should be able to win by margin.
Over/Under
BET OVER 237.5 (-105).
Recent trends for both teams suggest that the Over is the play, and both teams are very talented offensively yet suffer major defensive flaws. The Over is 4-1 in the Warriors’ last 5 overall and 3-1-1 in the Wizards’ last 5 overall. The Over is also 6-2 in the last overall meetings between these teams an 8-3 in their last 11 meetings in Washington.
