The Nets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

The Brooklyn Nets have played some of their best ball on the road this season, but they’re a banged up team without their best player in Durant, and the defense has had issues as of late. The Washington Wizards don’t have a single player on their injury list and are playing some of their best ball as of late, outscoring teams in their last five games by an average of 5.2 points. Because of the injury list, I have to side with the Wizards at home. I’ll lay the bucket.
