*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday evening, January 17th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, January 18th.
Washington Wizards
On the negative side, let’s just address that big blue elephant in the room — did the Wizards make a huge mistake signing Bradley Beal to a $250M five-year deal?
Also, with the star missing his 20th game of the season I can’t be the only one wondering about the fact Beal is making $43.2M this season, season, has a player option of $57M in 2026-27, AND has the right to veto any trade destination.
That’s a lot of power for any player, let alone one who has missed 20 of the team’s 44 games this year.
So far, it’s reasonable to question his durability at this stage since he’s missed 20 or more games in three of the last four seasons.
The lone year he missed fewer was 2020-21 (12 missed) the shortened 72-game post-pandemic season and notably, Beal had over nine months off to rest for that season.
Stats
Statistically, the Wizards fall in the middle ground to the lower tier in the majority of areas. Also, they score 111.8 points per game (25th) while shooting 48.0% from the field and 34.4% from the perimeter ranking ninth and 22nd respectively.
So far, defensively, the Wizards allow 113.4 points per game (16th) while opponents shoot 46.4% from the field (7th) and 36.3% from deep (19th).
On the positive side, Beal could make his return in this match as he’s listed as questionable.
New York Knicks
Every team has bad matchups and for the Knicks, the Raptors may be that squad. Twice this season Toronto has rolled into MSG and won.
The second occasion was more competitive requiring overtime to decide the victor.
Canadian RJ Barrett led his squad with 32 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Barrett went end to end with 6.6 seconds remaining slamming home the dunk that forced overtime.
Stats
As can be seen, without a doubt, New York excels at limiting opponents with the second-best opponent field goal percentage of 45.0% and the fifth-lowest perimeter percentage of 34.1%.
Also, they complete the big three stat line ranking seventh overall for opponent scoring with 111.3 points per game).
So far, offensively, the Knicks score 114.3 points per game (14th). Also, New York shoots 45.4% from the field ranking 24th, and 33.8% from the perimeter ranking 25th.
Another key point, New York has no injuries to report.

Free Washington Wizards vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Indeed, the Knicks struggle more at home than they do on the road. Ironic isn’t it? But having said that, I like them to win this game. Also, the question is whether Beal returns and if he does I like the Wizards to keep the score closer than the spread.
All in all, the issue is the official NBA injury report lists him as questionable but other sites note he’s out til the end of the month so this could be some cat-and-mouse coaching games going on.
