Knicks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 119, Wizards 116

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks are the far better side, but they aren't worth a moneyline play at -400.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS +8.5 (-105).

The Knicks are coming off a primetime home win, and this is a perfect let-down spot for the road side. They have also recently struggled on the road, losing 3 of their last 4 outright and losing as a favorite in 1 of those 3 losses. New York is 4-5 ATS in its last 9 road games.

The Wizards haven't been the most consistent side, but they are playing well at home lately. They have covered 2 straight at home and 3 of their last 5 at Capital One Arena. That said, back WIZARDS +8.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 238.5 (-105).

The Wizards play at an ultra-fast pace, but that hasn't turned into points lately. They scored 90, 101, 126, 110 and 102 in their last 5 games, going Under in 3 of those.

New York has gone Under in 3 straight and in 4 of its last 5, allowing 106 or fewer points in its last 3 games. It has gone Under in 7 of its last 10 as well. Take UNDER 238.5 (-105).
