New Orleans has an opportunity to end its losing streak against a team it has beaten in the past four meetings, although this is the first one this season. The Pelicans are a slight favorite because Washington traded two of its better players, CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, to Atlanta for Trae Young, who is out with a quad injury. The Wizards are only 10-26 and 15-21 ATS anyway, so the subtraction of two players before Young can play again is the reason they are still home underdogs. Washington was blown out 131-110 by Philadelphia on Wednesday while failing to cover a 16.5-point spread. The 76ers shot 54 percent and hit 14 of 37 3-point tries. The Wizards have lost eight of 10 against Western Conference teams, and they are 6-14 ATS in their past 20 versus the Southwest Division. Take the Pelicans.

Washington is in a quick payback situation after losing at New Orleans 132-120 on Friday and it now gets a home game against the Pelicans, whose season was ruined from the start due to a plethora of injuries. The Wizards are 8-0 ATS their past eight games as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points and they have covered five of six home games. Washington also is 5-1 ATS its past six versus teams with losing records. New Orleans is understandably 0-6 ATS as a road favorite and 3-6 ATS overall its past nine games. Friday's win snapped an 11-game slide for the Pelicans, who haven't won two in a row since the first two games of the season. The game went OVER by 20 points for the sixth consecutive OVER for New Orleans. Washington has gone OVER four of six. Take the Wizards and the OVER.

Washington at New Orleans

The New Orleans Pelicans and the Washington Wizards are the worst teams in the NBA. Someone has to win this game, as the Pelicans are 5-29 and enter this contest on an 11-game losing streak. Washington is barely better than that at 6-25 and is off a rare win. Washington plays little defense as the Wizards allow 121.9ppg, which ranks 30th in the NBA and is dead last. New Orleans is in the same boat as the Pelicans, allowing 118ppg, which is 25th in the league. I don't expect much in defense, and both these teams feel like they can win this game. I would expect an up-and-down court game void of defense. Make the play OVER the total.
