Wizards vs Knicks Prediction
The Wizards have covered 6 of their last 8 games, so you can consider the boatload of points. However, the Knicks have owned the Wizards over the years, and they’re 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games as a double-digit favorite. The Wizards haven’t beaten the Knicks since January 2023, and that includes a 17-point loss back in November. It’s a thick number, but the Knicks thrive in this massive favorite role, and even with recent covers, there’s not a lot of appeal with the Wizards. I’ll lay the points with the Knicks.
