Knicks vs Wizards Predictions and Picks

"The Knicks were always going to open as heavy road favorites in this matchup, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they won by more than 30 points given how well they've been playing lately. However, the Wizards have sprung to life over the past four games, and I think they can surprise the Knicks and keep this one to single digits in the end." — Peter Tran, PickDawgz

"Backing Washington here is ugly, but this is a bad spot for the Knicks. New York has won six straight games and is coming off a big home win over the Lakers. After this game, the Knicks will play on a back-to-back, facing the Denver Nuggets at home on Wednesday. Seeing that the Knicks have beaten the Wizards 10 straight times, and have this game sandwiched between two marquee games, I think that New York could let down, or at least take their foot off the brakes late. I expect New York to win, but they are only 4-11 ATS as a road favorite this season." — David Delano, Winners and Whiners

"It's easy to pull the trigger on the Knicks here. They have won the last 10 meetings and the Wizards, comparatively speaking, are garnered as a lightweight while the Knicks are considered a contender to win the NBA Finals. But that's the problem. Backing the Knicks here is doing so at an inflated number before we go any further. The Knicks' stock is high and in this series, it is through the roof. That is not a good look for a team that plays losing basketball overall on the highway." — Napier Montgomery, Pickswise
