Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

The Washington Wizards have had success against the number lately, with covers in 5 of their last 7 games, but they’re still a team I’m not eager to back. The Wizards don’t play defense, and they don’t play with a sense of urgency most nights. The Brooklyn Nets have won 5 straight games against the Wizards and are 4-0-1 ATS in those games. The Nets are also 15-4-1 ATS on the season. The Nets are one of the top moneymakers in the NBA so far. I’ll lay the chalk with the Nets at home.
