Coming off a wild four-overtime loss to Atlanta, the New York Knicks will head to Washington, D.C. to take on the streaking Wizards.
Washington, winners of seven out of the last eight games, are a vastly improved team from a month ago and are starting to look like one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.
New York Knicks
New York doesn’t have a lot of positives to draw from right now. The team is in the midst of trade rumors and drama with star Carmelo Anthony, while Derrick Rose is day-to-day with an ankle injury.
The defense has been poor for the team all year and it’s unclear if coach Jeff Hornacek has complete control of his locker room.

Despite all of this, there is some good for the Knicks and it’s come in the form of a unicorn. That unicorn is known as Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis is having a fantastic sophomore season, averaging 18.6 points and seven rebounds per game.
He’s mesmerizing to watch, considering he’s over seven feet tall and has great ball handling skills along with a lovely jump shot.

For the Knicks to turn things around, it’s going to start with the positive play of Porzingis.
Who knows how much longer Carmelo will be on this team, but he’s having a solid year offensively and the Knicks would miss that if he left mid-season. Anthony is averaging 23.1 points per game on 44% shooting.
He’s had some great scoring performances this year.
Washington Wizards
Washington has been extremely tough to beat in 2017. The team has improved on both sides of the ball, especially on offense.
Washington averages 106.7 points per game and a lot of that offense is generated by the impressive back court of John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Wall is having an All-Star caliber season, averaging a double-double with 22.9 points 10.3 assists per game. He is a great floor general, one that creates offense for his entire team, but can still score at will.
Alongside him in the back court, Bradley Beal has been playing some great basketball. He’s averaging 21.8 points per game on 46% shooting.

It’s a good sign for your offense when you have five guys averaging double figures in points. Otto Porter and Markieff Morris are both averaging over 14 points per game, while center Marcin Gortat is averaging just over 11.
If Washington can keep this trend up, the winning should continue, especially against a team with a poor defense like New York.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The OVER is 3-2 in New York’s last five games
- Washington is 5-0 ATS in the last five games
Free New York Knicks vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
Washington is a different team from a month ago. The Wizards are playing well on both sides of the ball and the back court of John Wall and Bradley Beal has been fantastic. Washington gets the W against the Knicks.

Washington has covered the spread in each of its last five games and that shouldn’t chance on Tuesday. Against a really poor New York defense, the Wizards should score at will.
