Rockets vs Wizards Prediction

You don’t see these sorts of lines in the NBA often, so I can understand if you’re leaning toward the points. However, the Wizards are awful defensively, which isn’t ideal against this Rockets offense. The Wizards are also 2-9 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. Also, the Rockets were favorites of 15 or more points once this season, and that resulted in a 26-point win over the Nets. The Wizards are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a double-digit underdog. I have no choice but to bite the bullet and lay the points with the Rockets.
