Wizards at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 119, Wizards 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Bucks (-320) are such heavy favorites that taking them straight up isn’t worth the risk for the minimal profit if they secure the victory.

Against the spread

Even though Holiday and Antetokounmpo are expected back for the Bucks, WIZARDS +7.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this matchup. Washington is on a 5-game win streak and should be able to keep it within 7 points, especially if Beal is active.

The Wizards are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games, and the Bucks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-112) is an enticing bet despite the trends leaning toward the Under in this game. If Holiday and Antetokounmpo are officially active, then the Bucks should put up a decent number of points while the Wizards have averaged 116.8 points per game in their last 10 games.

Analyzing Friday’s Washington Wizards at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Wizards (15-21) take on the Orlando Magic (13-23) Friday at Amway Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wizards vs.  Magic odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Wizards cruised to a 127-102 victory over the Phoenix Suns Wednesday to cover as 2-point underdogs at home. Washington has strung together 3 straight wins for just the 2nd time this season.

The Magic lost 121-101 to the Detroit Pistons Wednesday as they failed to cover as 1-point road underdogs. Orlando is on a 2-game losing skid and will be shorthanded Friday as a handful of its players were suspended for an incident in Wednesday’s game.

Wizards at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 116, Magic 108

Moneyline

Even though Washington (-190) is expected to win against the shorthanded Magic, AVOID the moneyline. The current odds for the Wizards to win aren’t worth taking straight up, but I’m fine with including them in a parlay.

Against the spread

WIZARDS -4.5 (-112) is the ideal bet in this game considering that the Magic will be without a decent amount of their players due to suspension. Washington has beaten Orlando in 5 straight meetings and has won by 5-plus points in 4 of those.

The Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-108) feels a bit low for these teams regardless of Beal’s status. Washington still has capable scorers in F Kyle Kuzma and C Kristaps Porzingis while Orlando has F Franz Wagner and F Paolo Banchero.

The Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between the Wizards and the Magic.

The Wizards secured a 116-111 win against the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday to cover as 4.5-point underdogs at home. Washington has won 3 of its last 4 games.

Suns at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 117, Wizards 110

Moneyline

I’ll take the SUNS (-135) on the road after they defeated the Grizzlies Tuesday. While the Wizards won on Tuesday as well, it’s been tough to trust them even with G Bradley Beal in the lineup.

Against the spread

It remains to be seen if G Devin Booker will return for the Suns Wednesday after he missed Tuesday with a groin injury. Even with his status unknown, SUNS -2.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager with G Chris Paul, F Mikal Bridges, and C Deandre Ayton still available.

The Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings with the Wizards and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road meetings against the Wizards.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-112) is where I’m leaning in this game regardless of Booker’s status. The Suns have put up 125 points in back-to-back games and those came against solid defensive teams in the Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets.

The Suns have hit the Over in 8 of their last 9 games against a team with a winning home record. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these sides in Washington and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall.

The 76ers defeated the New York Knicks 119-112 on Christmas to cover as 2-point favorites on the road. Philadelphia is on an 8-game winning streak.

The Wizards secured a 125-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday to cover as 7.5-point underdogs on the road. Despite winning on Friday, Washington has lost 8 of its last 10 games.

76ers at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Wizards 108

Moneyline

Even though I anticipate the 76ers securing a win on the road Tuesday, PASS on the moneyline in this game. While I wouldn’t recommend taking the moneyline at the current odds, I’m fine taking Philadelphia to win in a parlay.

Against the spread

With how well Philadelphia has been playing recently, it’s hard not taking 76ERS -4.5 (-110) in this game. The Wizards won’t have any answers for C Joel Embiid, who has averaged 34 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game on 53.7% shooting in his last 12 games.

The 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-110) is an enticing wager as the total seems a bit low. The 76ers and the Wizards have gone Over 222.5 points in both of their previous matchups this season.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the 76ers and the Wizards in Washington while the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Wizards at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 123, Wizards 112

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Suns being heavily favored at home. Taking Phoenix straight up isn’t worth doing considering the current odds for the Suns to win.

Against the spread

Even with G Bradley Beal returning in Washington’s last game, SUNS -6.5 (-115) appears to be the ideal choice given how these 2 teams are currently playing. There’s also a chance the Suns will have G Devin Booker available on Tuesday after he sat out the 1st leg of a back-to-back on Monday.

The Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss and they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games with a winning record. On top of that, Washington is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 meetings with Phoenix.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-110) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Suns have the 2nd-best offensive rating in the NBA and the Wizards have Beal, F Kyle Kuzma, and C Kristaps Porzingis on the court together, so they are capable of scoring enough points to help us hit the Over.

The Suns have hit the Over in 6 straight games following a win and they’ve achieved the Over in 5 straight following an ATS win. Also, the Over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Wizards and the Suns.

Wizards at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 115, Wizards 108

Moneyline

Just AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Nuggets being massive favorites at home. Taking Denver straight up clearly isn’t worth doing at the current odds as the return isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

While I envision the Nuggets winning, WIZARDS +9.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this contest. If Beal returns for Washington, this spread could change.

The Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.

Over/Under

UNDER 224.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager in this game due to how these 2 teams play. The Wizards and the Nuggets are both bottom-11 teams in pace this season, so these teams prefer to slow the game down in hopes to get better shots.

The Wizards have gone 3-0-1 to the Under in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Wizards and the Nuggets when the game takes place in Denver.

Nets at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Wizards 111

Moneyline

I’ll PASS on the moneyline given the current odds for the Nets (-210). Brooklyn has been the much better team as of late, but taking them straight up isn’t advised.

Against the spread

NETS -5.5 (-105) is an enticing wager considering how Brooklyn has been playing recently. The Nets will have F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving back on the court Monday while the Wizards still won’t have Beal available.

The Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record and they are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings with the Wizards.

Over/Under

Even with Beal ruled out for tonight’s game, OVER 228.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this contest. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating, so plenty of points could be scored in this game.

The Wizards are 3-0-2 to the Over in their last 5 games and they are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Heat at Wizards key injuries

  • Dewayne Dedmon (foot) questionable
  • G Tyler Herro (ankle) out
  • Caleb Martin (knee) questionable

Wizards

  • Jordan Goodwin (knee) questionable
  • Delon Wright (hamstring) out

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Heat at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 114, Wizards 110

Moneyline

Even with Adebayo uncertain to play on Friday, HEAT (-105) is where I’m leaning in this game following a disappointing loss to Toronto. F Jimmy Butler finished with only 13 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 5 turnovers in the loss to the Raptors, so I’m expecting a bounce-back game from him.

Against the spread

Being that I took Miami to win on Friday against Washington, HEAT +1.5 (-115) makes sense as my pick against the spread. If Miami does have Adebayo available, the spread could favor the Heat more, so I’m fine taking the current spread before that news potentially breaks.

The Heat are 27-11-2 ATS in their last 40 road meetings against the Wizards.

Over/Under

OVER 217.5 (-110) appears to be the ideal choice in this game given the current trends for both of these teams. Washington has hit the Over in 3 of its last 4 games while Miami has hit the Over in 5 consecutive contests.

The Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the Heat and the Wizards in Washington and it’s 12-5 in the last 17 meetings overall.

The Thunder suffered a narrow 126-122 loss to the Boston Celtics Monday, though they covered as 11.5-point road underdogs. Oklahoma City has won 2 of its last 3 games and it has covered the spread in each of those 3 games.

The Wizards took down the Memphis Grizzlies 102-92 Sunday to cover as 1.5-point favorites with G Ja Morant and G Desmond Bane sidelined for the Grizzlies. Washington is currently on a 4-game win streak and the team will be playing its 4th straight home contest Wednesday.

Thunder at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 119, Thunder 110

Moneyline

Even though I see the Wizards (-190) winning at home Wednesday, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. The Thunder have found ways to win games thus far, so taking the Wizards straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds.

Against the spread

WIZARDS -4.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game, even though the Thunder are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Washington is expected to have G Bradley Beal back in the lineup following a 5-game absence.

The Wizards went 5-0 ATS with Beal out of the lineup.

Over/Under

The Thunder are going to push the ball up the floor often as they play at the fastest pace in the NBA. Taking that into consideration, OVER 228.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this contest.

The Thunder have hit the Over in each of their last 4 games. Meanwhile, the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Thunder and the Wizards in Washington.

Dallas Mavericks at Washington Wizards odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Dallas Mavericks at Washington Wizards odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Mavericks (6-4) are set to face the Washington Wizards (5-6) Thursday at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Wizards odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Mavericks are on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back following a 94-87 loss to the Orlando Magic Wednesday where they were unable to cover as 8.5-point road favorites. Dallas was on a 4-game win streak before the loss.

The Wizards are coming off a 108-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets Monday where they covered as 2-point road underdogs. Washington has lost 5 of its last 7 games after starting the season with a 3-1 record.

Mavericks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 112, Wizards 105

Moneyline

The Mavericks (-155) are slightly favored on the road, but the odds for them to win aren’t worth taking straight up. I’ll go ahead and PASS on taking the moneyline in this game unless I’m including Dallas in a parlay.

Against the spread

MAVERICKS -3.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game despite Dallas losing to Orlando Wednesday. G Luka Doncic had his 1st game where he scored fewer than 30 points against the Magic and Beal is sidelined for Washington.

The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings against the Wizards in Washington.

Over/Under

Even with the Wizards having the 6th-worst offensive rating in the NBA, OVER 208.5 (-108) is an enticing wager. The Mavericks have the 8th-best offensive rating in the league and Doncic could be in store for a special performance Thursday.

The Over has hit in 6 of the 8 meetings between the Mavericks and the Wizards in Washington and has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings overall.
