Washington Wizards @ Brooklyn Nets Preview

The Brooklyn Nets (17-33) are on a three-game win streak, their longest of the season, and will look to extend it to four games as they host the Washington Wizards (8-41). The Nets are coming off a narrow 99-97 victory over the Houston Rockets, showcasing their ability to grind out wins despite their struggles this season. Meanwhile, the Wizards have won two consecutive games for only the second time this season, defeating the Charlotte Hornets 124-114 in their last outing.

Both teams have had challenging seasons, with the Nets sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference and the Wizards at the bottom. However, the Nets have shown resilience recently, and their home-court advantage could play a pivotal role in this matchup. The Wizards, on the other hand, will aim to build on their recent momentum and continue their road trip on a high note.

Pick: Brooklyn Nets -2.0

The Brooklyn Nets are the pick to cover the -2.0 spread. They are riding a three-game win streak and have a strong head-to-head record against the Wizards, winning seven of their last 10 matchups. While the Wizards have shown signs of life with two consecutive wins, their overall struggles this season (8-41 record) and the Nets' home-court advantage make Brooklyn the more reliable choice. Additionally, the Nets' recent defensive improvements and ability to close out tight games bolster their chances of covering the spread.
