Knicks at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 116, Wizards 113
Moneyline
BET KNICKS (-125).
The Knicks are tied for the 2nd-best win percentage on the road this season, posting a 17-12 straight-up record. Meanwhile, Washington is just 11-14-1 ATS at home, so it hasn’t been strong at Capital One.
The Wizards also rank 17th in net rating and are near .500, so their record may seem a touch overinflated as to where they actually rank in the league.
The Knicks come into this game having covered 4 of their last 6 road games as well. Back KNICKS (-125).
Against the spread
PASS.
Just play a team to win outright and take the moneyline here as it is a pick ’em anyway.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 225.5 (-108).
The Wizards are 2-2 O/U in their last 4 while the Knicks are 3-1 O/U in their last 4.
New York ranks 2nd in the NBA in offensive rating and should be able to get ample 2nd-chance efforts. The Wizards sit 12th in true shooting percentage and should be able to breakdown a strong Knicks defense.
Combine the talented scorers on the court with the second-chance opportunities, and the OVER 225.5 (-108) is a good bet.
