Wizards vs Nets Prediction
The Washington Wizards have played their best ball of the season in the month of February, which includes covers in seven of their last 10 games. However, the Nets have the rest advantage with the Wizards playing last night, and it looks like they’re pushing for a spot in the play-in tournament.
The Nets have won seven of their last nine games, and that includes beating the 76ers on the road as a double-digit underdog. If the Nets are really going for it, this is a game they can’t afford to blow. The Wizards are the worst team in the NBA, and you don’t get them as underdogs this soft often. I’ll gladly lay the small number with the Nets on the road.
