Knicks at Wizards picks and predictionsPrediction
Knicks 119, Wizards 103
PASS.
The Knicks (-750) should win with ease, but they are certainly not close to worth 7 1/2 times your money. Avoid this play.
BET KNICKS -13.5 (-110).
The Wizards have failed to cover in 3 straight home games as a double-digit underdog. While they’ve performed well as of late, they have allowed 111 points or more in 4 of their last 5 games.
The Knicks’ defense has been playing at another level, allowing fewer than 100 points in 3 of their last 4 games. They have covered in 2 straight road games and in 5 straight games as a favorite.
Back KNICKS -13.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).
The Wizards rank 29th in offensive rating, and they have gone Over often because of their sixth-ranked pace. The Knicks will look to change that, ranking 23rd in pace.
New York has gone Under in 8 straight games, primarily because of its rock-solid defense. Considering those trends and styles of play, take UNDER 227.5 (-110).
