Nets at Wizards picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 114, Wizards 106
Moneyline
PASS.
Brooklyn (-250) should pick up the win here, but a -250 favorite is not worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
BET NETS -6.5 (-105).
Brooklyn has covered in 4 consecutive meetings with the Wizards and is 7-1-2 ATS in the last 10. Brooklyn is also the much better team at covering this season at 18-12-1 ATS, while the Wizards are 14-15-1.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 242.5 (-115).
The Under has hit in 5 of the last 6 Brooklyn-Washington matchups, including both of the most recent meetings. The Under is also 5-2 in Washington's last 7 overall and 2-1 in Washington's last 3 home games.
This is only a lean because the Over has been safer for both teams this season.
