Spurs at Wizards picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 129, Wizards 110
PASS.
The Spurs are the much better team and will easily cover here as -1400 favorites, but the risk of betting on them here is not worth the reward, given that they are such heavy favorites, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
LEAN SPURS -15.5 (-110).
This Spurs team, especially given that they are fully healthy for this matchup, is simply a different team than the one that the Wizards have faced recently. Look for San Antonio to outclass the Wizards here in all facets of the game and look for San Antonio’s guards to find a lot of success offensively in this matchup.
The Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
This is a lean because the Wizards are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall and in their last 4 matchups against the Spurs.
BET OVER 237.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 6 of Washington’s last 10 games, including all of its last 5 home games. For San Antonio, the Over is 6-4 in its last 10 outings and 15-13 on the season. The Over has also hit in all of the last 5 matchups between these squads played in the nation’s capital.
With Washington being a struggling team and the Spurs having a strong defense, there is a possibility that San Antonio’s defense holds Washington enough for the Under to hit here.
