Wizards at Spurs: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Spurs 123, Wizards 106
Money line (ML)
The Spurs (-275) are laying quite a bit in this one, and it’s not worth the risk, even against a Wizards (+225) team that returns to the hardwood after two weeks battling coronavirus and the league’s mandated protocols. AVOID, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread (ATS)
The SPURS -7.5 (-105) are likely to dust the shorthanded Wizards +7.5 (-105) in their return to action. Washington last played Jan. 11, a 128-107 win over Phoenix at home. They were just 1-3 SU across the four games before hitting the pause button, but Washington was on a 5-1 ATS run. That good streak will be all washed away in this one, however, as the Wiz are shorthanded, and it will be an uphill climb, with or without Westbrook.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 230.5 (-110) is the way to go here, as San Antonio should have its way against Washington’s skeleton crew. And after a two-week hiatus, the players who do suit up for the Wizards are going to have a hard time getting their legs under them early on. The Over was 6-1 in the seven games before Washington paused for two weeks, so they weren’t that great defensively beforehand, either.
As far as the Spurs are concerned, they have allowed 121.5 PPG over the past two games, and they’re 17th in the NBA with 111.3 PPG allowed at the defensive end. They have also posted 110.8 PPG to rank 16th in the league i scoring average.
