Wizards vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are coming into this contest with a full squad, while the Wizards are still missing Cam Whitmore, Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert and Jamir Watkins. The Spurs have quietly been one of the hottest teams and they certainly looked good in their massive win over the Hawks in their last game. Meanwhile, the Wizards were stumbling their way through another poor season before they were able to surprise the Grizzlies in a dramatic comeback victory last night. The Wizards deserve plenty of credit for their thrilling win over the Grizzlies last night, but it’s going to be tough to replicate that effort on zero days rest. The Spurs are just in a groove at the moment, even with Wembenyama on a minutes restriction, and I think they make light work of the Wizards in this spot.
