Golden State Warriors at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Golden State Warriors at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

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.

Against the spread

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.

Warriors at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Warriors 119, Wizards 113

Money line (ML)

Golden State’s implied win probability based on the money line is 57.45% and with how well Steph Curry is playing right now, I think this version of the WARRIORS (-135) wins this game enough times to justify the price, which has become a bit cheaper (down from -140).

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve heard of Curry’s offensive eruption in April.

Curry is averaging 40.8 points per game (PPG) on 75.1% true shooting with a plus-17 net rating, 6.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game and has pulled ahead of Wizards’ Bradley Beal for the most PPG in the NBA (31.4 PPG).

This is a max motivation spot for both teams with each vying for playoff contention and needing to stack wins down the stretch and superstars all over the floor.

Also, don’t sleep on the importance of Hachimura’s absence, who was Washington’s leading scorer in the first Warriors-Wizards meeting this season. Hachimura has a really good mid-range pull-up jumper, good size and enough skill to use up a little of Warriors Draymond Green‘s bandwidth.

Without Hachimura out there, Green can focus more of his attention on Beal and Russell Westbrook.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS because I prefer the money line and don’t want to fuss with the points, but if you want to be cheap the Warriors -2 (-110) works as well.

Golden State is 4-2 ATS when laying 1-2.5 points and 6-4 ATS as a road favorite with a plus-5.3-point ATS margin and Washington is 0-3 ATS when getting spotted 1-2.5 points.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 238.5 (-105) for a quarter unit because the first Warriors-Wizards meeting this season went Under the total by 23 points and the market hasn’t adjusted enough.

Personally, I have this total in the lower 230s. But, I’ll concede that this game has a good chance of going Over since Curry is on fire, Westbrook is averaging a triple-double since March and Beal is awesome.
