Wizards at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 121, Wizards 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The Wizards are 1-4 on the road and only beat the Charlotte Hornets, who are among the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. The Nets are the better team and should come out on top with ease.

However, at -300, there's no value in the home favorite.

Against the spread

LEAN WIZARDS +7 (-110).

Washington hasn't come out on top when traveling, but it has played somewhat well. It is 3-2 ATS and lost to the Miami Heat by 7, covering as an 8.5-point underdog, and lost to the Atlanta Hawks by 9, covering as a 9.5-point favorite. The Wizards have the offensive firepower to keep games close.

The Nets have been underdogs in every home game thus far and are 1-3 at home, but have covered or pushed in all 4. Thomas, who has been a staple for the Nets offense, will be sidelined with an ankle injury, limiting their ceiling offensively.

Take WIZARDS +7 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 234 (-110).

The Wizards are 7-1 O/U, mainly due to their desire to push the pace. They play at the fastest tempo in the league and should force the Nets to do the same. Washington is 5-0 O/U on the road and has allowed 120 or more in 4 of 5 road games and has allowed 140-plus points in 2 of 5 road games. Its defense is awful, and it plays at a fast pace -- a recipe for points.

The Nets are 5-4 O/U and are 3-1 O/U at home. Brooklyn sits 20th in pace and 12th in true shooting percentage, so if the game is sped up, its efficiency should help more points be put on the board here.

Take OVER 234 (-110).
