Point Spread Pick
WAS Wizards -3.5(-110)

The Brooklyn Nets suffered a tough loss last night, falling to the Houston Rockets by a 24-point margin. While tonight they will be visiting a Washington Wizards team who have had far less success than their previous opponents this season, the odds might be stacked against the Nets. For one Michael Porter Jr. and Egor Denim both sat out last night’s game and are questionable to play in this one. They have also really struggled on the back end of back-to-backs this season. The Nets have lost all 5 games they have played with no night’s rest, with the average point differential in those games being -17.4. The Wizards will have a great chance to take advantage of this.

The Nets have had recent issues taking care of the ball. Over the last 10 games the team is just 26th in the league in opponent points off turnovers. With fatigue being a factor tonight, expect more mistakes than ever from the visitors. While their record might not show it, the Wizards do tend to up their game when playing at home, seeing a spike in shooting percentages across the board. With the extra possessions they should be able to generate tonight through turnovers, it should give them a great chance to come out as winners in the matchup. Especially if the visitors leading scorer this season once again does not take to the floor.

Nets vs Wizards prediction: Washington -3.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -4.5.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
