Washington at New York

Washington is in bounce-back mode after playing poorly in a home loss to the Bulls. Bouncing back against a 5-25 NY Knicks team will be a breeze. Washington has a dynamite one-two outside punch with John Wall and Bradley Beal, plus a string of hard working role players in the frontcourt. The Wizards defense is outstanding too at #5 in the NBA in points allowed and #6 in field goal shooting defense, allowing .436%. The Wizards are 9-2 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400. And, they have twice as many road wins as the Knicks have at home. The Knicks are a mess, losing seven in a row at home and 15 of 16 overall. New York returns home after giving up its most points this season in a 118-108 loss to Toronto on Sunday. While Washington is so strong on defense, the Knicks are dead last in the NBA at defending on the perimeter allowing 39% shooting beyond the arc - and that's a strength of Washington. New York is 4-11 ATS at home. The Wizards won 98-83 on November 4th in the only matchup with the Knicks this season despite missing Bradley Beal. The Wizards are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and will roll again. Lay the points on the Washington Wizards.
