Wizards at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Wizards 115

Money line

PASS on the money line tonight as a single bet. The Warriors have 28 home wins, the second-most in the league, and have won three games in a row. The Wizards are 12-20 on the road and have lost all three road games on this trip.

You can include a Warriors win in a parlay bet, but it doesn’t make sense to wager nine times what you can win on a single bet.

Against the spread

The Wizards are 25-39-2 ATS overall this season and 10-21 ATS on the road while the Warriors are 34-30-4 ATS overall and 19-14-2 ATS at home.

However, the Wizards have lost by double digits only once since Feb. 12.

Three of the Warriors’ last four wins have been by at least 13 points, but they also had five straight losses.

Take the WIZARDS +11.5 (-107).

Over/Under

Five of the Wizards’ last six games have had totals of at least 226 points.

All three of the Warriors’ recent wins have stayed under 226  points, but their previous four games all had totals of 235 or more.

Wizards at Warriors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wizards 122, Warriors 114

Money line (ML)

Slight “LEAN” to the WIZARDS (+155) for a one-fifth-unit if at all because I “LIKE” Washington to cover the spread and want to sprinkle on the underdog’s money line.

We’ve seen the Wizards get up for big games and even upset some quality opponents such as the Brooklyn Nets (twice), Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets and more. While this isn’t the Warriors of previous seasons, I’d assume Beal and PG Russell Westbrook are amped up for this matchup.

My hesitation is the Warriors need to right the ship if they don’t want to fall out of playoff seeding and, of course, the Wizards are bad.

Against the spread (ATS)

Definitely BET WIZARDS +4.5 (-110) heavier than or instead of Washington’s money line.

Maybe I have a little too much “recency bias”, but this version of the Warriors we’ve seen in recent weeks shouldn’t be laying 4.5 points against anyone.

Golden State’s offense is too reliant on PG Stephen Curry and the defense has the second-highest FTA/FG rate in the Association and is 24th in rebounding percentage.

The Wizards are third in offensive FTA/FG rate and I’d give Washington’s frontcourt the edge over Golden State’s in this game.

Finally, according to Pregame.com, nearly three-fourths of the money is on the Warriors to cover.

This is a good spot to “fade the market” because I don’t think it is properly accounting for how shaky Golden State has looked recently.

BET WIZARDS +4.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 239.5 (-110) for a half-unit for a few reasons.

First, the market is hammering the Over but bookmakers have brought the total down from the 240-point opener, which is a red flag.

Also, while Washington and Golden State are first and second, respectively, in pace of play, they don’t execute well enough on offense to bet such a high total.

These teams are neck-and-neck in offensive rating with the Warriors ranked 21st and the Wizards 22nd.
