Wizards at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 112, Wizards 108
Moneyline
The Knicks are having the better season, obviously, but statistically, there is not a lot of separation with the Wizards.
Washington shoots 34.4% from 3; New York shoots 33.8%. Washington ranks 6th in opponents' effective field goal percentage; the Knicks rank 4th.
That being said New York is dominant on the glass (13.3 offensive rebounds vs. Washington's 9.3) and in attempted 3-pointers (35 attempts vs. Washington's 31.5). Both these categories are part of a winning formula but unless the line drops for New York it's best to AVOID.
Against the spread
The Knicks have a losing home record (11-12) and not surprisingly an even worse home ATS record (8-13-2).
Beal's status muddies the water for anyone on the fence with this line but G Kyle Kuzma won't be going 5 of 20 anytime soon, and the Wizards have covered in 4 of the past 5 road games against teams with a losing home record.
BET WIZARDS +5.5 (-105).
