Washington Wizards vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Washington Wizards are an unserious team that doesn’t play a lick of defense, and now they’re losing players due to injury. The Golden State Warriors are not only winning games, but they’re 5-1 ATS. The Warriors may also get Curry back from injury. This game could get ugly for the Wizards. Thick line for a road team, but I’m still rolling with the Warriors.
