Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
ESPN’s Matchup Predictor lists Washington as 58.9 percent favorites. That’s a precarious perch on which to stand, even with home-court advantage.
Simply put: I’m not buying it, and neither are odds-makers.
The Nets are the team with all the momentum entering the new week, and a 5-point spread makes perfect sense considering Brooklyn’s three-game winning streak has been with a 4.3-point average margin of victory. The Nets aren’t going to suddenly lose it—at least not against the shorthanded, increasingly-close-to-tanking Wizards.
I’m betting Brooklyn finally pushes double-digits here and takes full advantage of a team that’s down and out for the immediate count.
Road Nets get this one straight up and against the spread.
