Wizards at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 113, Wizards 107

Money line (ML)

The Wizards have lost eight of their last 10 games, including a 131-113 loss to the Knicks Tuesday night. Washington has really struggled of late, and though the Knicks have been just average recently, their defense still ranks No. 1 in the NBA.

The Wizards will have trouble scoring consistently Thursday night and with PG Derrick Rose back from his COVID-19 bout, the Knicks offense should be better, too. I like the KNICKS (-150) to win outright.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Wizards are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games, which pales in comparison to how hot the Knicks have been (13-5-1 ATS) in their last 19 games. The Knicks blew out the Wizards as 3-point favorites Tuesday night and there’s little reason to believe they can’t cover a 3-point spread again.

Take the KNICKS -3 (-110) to cover, though they probably won’t win by 18 points again.

Over/Under (O/U)

This is a matchup between one of the best offenses and arguably the best defense in the league, with the Knicks ranking first in points per game allowed. The Over/Under is often set lower when the Knicks play, which is why it’s 224.5 points Thursday night.

The Knicks will slow down Washington’s offense and neither team will top 120 points, keeping the total on the lower end. Bet the UNDER 224.5 (-110) Thursday.

Washington Wizards at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Washington Wizards at Brooklyn Nets NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Brooklyn Nets (28-14) host the Washington Wizards (15-25) Sunday at Barclays Center for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Wizards-Nets odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Washington just snapped a five-game losing skid in which it went 1-4 against the spread, by upsetting the Utah Jazz 131-122 as a 10.5-point home underdog Thursday.

The Nets had their six-game winning streak (4-2 ATS) broken after losing to the Orlando Magic 121-113 as 10.5-point road favorites Friday.

Brooklyn hasn’t regressed at all since losing SF Kevin Durant to injury Feb. 15. It has gone 11-2 straight up and covered the spread in 10 of those games.

The Wizards are 2-0 straight up and ATS against the Nets this year and Brooklyn had both Durant and SG Kyrie Irving for each of those meetings.

Wizards at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nets 124, Wizards 119

Money line (ML)

PASS with a slight lean on Wizards (+290).

Washington is a live dog in this game and the money line is almost juicy enough to sprinkle on it; however, fading the Nets lately would’ve caused a gambler to go broke.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +8.5 (-110) have already proven this season they can keep up with the Nets hence the two wins and covers.

While Brooklyn PG James Harden has played his way into the MVP race since joining the Nets, KD is the better player so the previous Wizards-Nets results are relevant.

Furthermore, Washington performs above bookmakers’ expectations on the road vs. quality opponents and is 5-2 ATS in its past seven road games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Brooklyn takes its foot off the gas at home vs. bad teams and is 4-5 ATS at home against sub-.500 teams.

Also, Washington is 14-6 ATS when getting 7.5 or more points as the underdog whereas Brooklyn 4-9 ATS when laying 7.5 or more points.

BET WIZARDS +8.5 (-110) for 1.25 units.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS because this total (247.5 and climbing) is way too high for me to confidently bet.

On one hand, there are a number of ways an Under cashes, but on the other hand, these teams have a combined 50-32 O/U record this season.

If anything, I lean Under 247.5 (-105) since the market is going in the opposite direction and if this is a blowout, either way, both teams will sit their starters and probably tank the total.

Wizards at Celtics: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 110, Celtics 105

Money line (ML)

The Wizards continue to be one of the hotter teams in the league. They have won seven of their last eight games. Boston won its last game but has lost three of four. Boston is 9-5 at home but Washington has won four of its last five on the road.

The Celtics are clearly not the same team without Brown and Smart. Washington beat the Celtics 104-91 earlier in February in Washington. It will be a closer game, but take the WIZARDS +220.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Wizards have also covered the spread in seven of their last eight games and are 16-15 ATS overall. They are 13-10 ATS as underdogs thanks to the current run.

Boston is 10-4 ATS at home but since we expect a straight-up win, take the WIZARDS +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams have their games go Over almost 55% of the time; however, when they met last time, they combined for only 195 points. It won’t be that low but expect a similar type of game.

Take UNDER 232.5 POINTS (-110).

Timberwolves at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 120, Timberwolves 114

Money line (ML)

The Timberwolves are just awful right now, having lost six in a row, 10 of 11 and 12 of 14. The Wizards are hot right now, having won six of seven. They have won their last four at home. Minnesota is just an awful bet right now, so take the WIZARDS (-190).

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Wolves have also failed to cover the spread in their last six games. The Wizards have covered the spread in six of their last seven and are an even 15-15 ATS this season. Minnesota is 7-10-1 ATS on the road and 12-17-1 as underdogs.

Take the WIZARDS -4.5 (-110). 

Over/Under (O/U)

This total is high, but understandably so. The two teams are in the bottom four in points allowed. They combine to allow 235.6 points per game. Washington has firepower with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook. Its defense will allow the Timberwolves to stay in it but it won’t quite get high enough.

Take UNDER 237.5 (-110).

Wizards at Nuggets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nuggets 123, Wizards 120

Money line (ML)

The Nuggets (-300) will be looking to avenge a 130-128 loss in the nation’s capital against the Wizards Feb. 17. The Wizards won outright as 4.5-point underdogs as the Over 234.5 comfortably hit. This will be another high-scoring game but in favor of the home side. PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +7.5 (-115) were cooled off, 135-116, on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday, snapping a 5-0 SU/ATS run. During that run is when Washington’s win over Denver occurred. Look for Denver to return the favor and win this one, but look for Washington to keep it close, perhaps coming down to the final possession.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 236.5 (-115) is a big number, but with these two teams, it’s not nearly enough. They combined for 258 total points in the first meeting, and the Over is 4-1 in the past five for Washington. Denver ranks fifth in the NBA with 115.4 PPG, and they’re 13th in defense with 111.6 PPG allowed. We’ll get another uptempo game with plenty of points in the Mile High City.

Wizards at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 119, Wizards 114

Money line (ML)

The Clippers (-550) will cost you five-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s risky business betting against a Wizards (+400) team on a five-game win streak, including at Portland and against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first two games of their road trip. They topped the Lakers 127-124 in overtime Monday night in a thriller in this very same venue. AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +10.5 (-110) are a great play, as they are 5-0 SU/ATS across the past five, including straight-up wins as underdogs in four of those outings. I don’t think they’re going to add the Clippers to their list of victims, but Washington should be able to keep the losing margin within single digits. L.A. is 1-2 SU/ATS, and they shouldn’t be laying this kind of number to anyone right now, as they’re not nearly the same kind of team with PG13 out.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 235.5 (-110) is the lean in this one, although it isn’t a very strong feeling. Only make a small-unit play on this total. The Under is 7-4 in the past 11 for Washington, while the Under is 2-0-1 in the past three for the Clips, all on their home floor.

Wizards at Lakers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Lakers 113, Wizards 109

Money line (ML)

The Lakers (-275) will cost you nearly three times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk with Davis on the shelf and Schroder joining him. While the Wizards (+220) are coming off an impressive 118-111 win in Portland, you can’t play Washington, either. PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +6.5 (-110) should be able to put a scare into LeBron and the Lakers -6.5 (-110) Monday night. Washington is playing its best basketball of the season, entering in a 4-0 SU/ATS win streak. Meanwhile, the Lake Show knuckled under against Miami Saturday, falling 96-94 against the undermanned Heat at Staples, and they lost 109-98 to the Brooklyn Nets the game before. They’re 1-3 SU/ATS across the past four, and 4-10 ATS over the previous 14.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 226.5 (-110) is the lean here, as the Los Angeles offense has been in disarray lately. They have averaged a paltry 96.0 PPG across the past two games, both losses to subpar Eastern Conference teams on their home floor. They should be able to fill up the buckets a little better against the defensively challenged Wizards, but the Under is still the play with the Lakers until L.A. regains some consistency at the offensive end.

Wizards at Trail Blazers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Trail Blazers 124, Wizards 117

Money line (ML)

The TRAIL BLAZERS (-160) are worth playing on the money line if you don’t want to mess with the points. The spread shouldn’t be a problem, although the Wizards (+135) come in on a rare heater. Washington has won and covered three in a row, while Portland enters on a six-game win and cover streak. Something’s gotta give, and it’s best to back the home side in this one.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The TRAIL BLAZERS -3.5 (-115) have covered six in a row, including each of their past three games at home from Feb. 9-12, all against Eastern Conference teams. The Blazers downed Washington 132-121 Feb. 2, as three-point underdogs. You can expect a similar result in this one, as the Blazers cool off the Wiz in Rip City while staying hot against the number. Portland is 4-0 ATS in its past four against Washington, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 242.5 (-110) is the play in this one, as this number is just way too high. Yes, the teams did combine for 253 points back on Groundhog Day in the nation’s capital, but the Under is 4-0 in Washington’s past four on the road and 5-2 in the past seven as an underdog. The Over has connected in five of the past six for Portland, and it’s 4-1 in the past five overall, but the Under is 16-6 in the past 22 for the Blazers against teams with a losing record.

Nuggets at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 121, Nuggets 114

Money line (ML)

The WIZARDS (+130) enter this one on a two-game win streak, topping the Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics. The Nuggets (-155) are coming off a tough 112-99 loss in Boston, and then they had to hop a plane for D.C. That’s a difficult turnaround, and they’re quite a bit banged up, too. As such, Washington is a tremendous value as short ‘dogs at home.

Against the spread (ATS)

The WIZARDS +3.5 (-110) have won outright and covered four of the past seven as an underdog, and they’re a respectable 3-2 ATS in the past five games overall. The Nuggets -3.5 (-110) are nicked up, with several key players on the injury report and uncertain to play. They were dusted in Boston by 13, and while a trip to D.C. should be a favorable situation, it isn’t a great spot on no rest. Go against the public and hit the underdog.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 232.5 (-110) is the play with Denver hitting in 10 of the past 14 on the road, while going 19-6-1 in the past 26 following a straight-up loss. While the Wizards are on a 6-2 Under run in the past eight, the Over has cashed in 10 of their past 14 at home, while going 5-2 in the past seven following a straight-up win.

Celtics at Wizards: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Celtics 119, Wizards 109

Money line (ML)

The Celtics (-300) will cost you three times your potential return. While the Wizards are dead-last in the Eastern Conference, it’s still way too much risk for not much reward.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)

The CELTICS -6.5 (-105) took care of the Wiz by a 116-107 score Jan. 8 as 3.5-point favorites.

While Boston has covered the spread in just one of its past four games overall, they’re a good play against a Washington side that has won just once in the past five games while going 3-9 ATS across the past 12.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 231.5 (-110) has been the rule for Washington lately, hitting in five of the past six games. The Under (237.5) also connected in the first meeting against Boston.

The Under has edged the Over 6-4 in the past 10 games for the C’s, while going 5-1 in their past six as a road favorite.
