Knicks at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 117, Wizards 110
Moneyline
PASS on the moneyline in this game.
While I wouldn’t advise taking the Knicks (-190) straight up, I’m fine with including them in a parlay at the current odds.
Against the spread
KNICKS -4.5 (-110) feels like the correct choice in this game with Beal still sidelined for the Wizards. Meanwhile, New York is fully healthy with F RJ Barrett returning to action Wednesday.
The Knicks are 24-7 ATS in their last 31 road games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road meetings against Washington.
Over/Under
Even though both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace, OVER 222.5 (-110) is how I’m betting on the total. With Barrett back and the Knicks being 10th in offensive rating, we just need a shorthanded Wizards team to help hit the Over.
The Knicks are 8-2 to the Over in their last 10 games playing on 1 day of rest and the Wizards have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games against a team with a winning record.
