Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards prediction
The Brooklyn Nets went from being one of our top moneymakers to failing to cover 7 of their last 8 games. With that said, the Wizards still suck, and they’ve lost 6 straight games to the Nets. Also, the Nets beat the Wizards earlier this month by a score of 124-97. The Washington Wizards remain a team I’m just not eager to back, as they don’t play defense, and they don’t score a ton despite shooting the ball well. Give me the Nets in a reasonable road win.
