The Oklahoma City Thunder have been covering machines dating back to last season, but they’re going through it right now, mainly with a defense that struggles to string together stops. DOnt look now, but the Wizards have won 4 straight games, and they’re one of the better defenses in the league in terms of points allowed and allowed field goal percentage. Line is reasonable. Give me the Wizards to stay hot.
