Wizards at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 132, Wizards 111

Moneyline

PASS.

At -650 odds, there is no value in betting on the Warriors against a Wizards team that is just 3-14 on the road this season.

Against the spread

LEAN WARRIORS -12.5 (-105).

The Warriors have found success on offense recently by spreading the ball around. In Tuesday's win, 6 players scored in double figures while 7 players hit at least 1 shot from beyond the arc. Playing against a Wizards team that ranks 29th of 30 teams in defensive rating, this game can and will get out of hand quickly leading to a dominant home win for Golden State.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 246.5 (-115).

The Warriors have demonstrated their high-powered offense scoring more than 120 points in 5 of their last 10 games, but Washington will not be able to carry its fair share for the Over to hit. With minimal bench production, it will be unable to find consistent scoring opportunities.
