The Warriors are 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Wizards are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 home games and 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 games overall. The over is 9-4-1 in Warriors last 14 overall. The under is 4-1 in Wizards last 5 overall.

The Golden State Warriors are expected to get some guys back from injury or rest in this spot, and that’s good enough to beat up on a Wizards club that’s injured and given up. The Washington Wizards are losing their last five games by an average of 4.4 points, and they lose in the underdog role by an average of 5.5 points. The line is a bit steep, but it’s Warriors or pass for me, assuming the majority of their key guys play.
