Spurs vs. Wizards Prediction & Pick
The Wizards have been a better team since Bradley Beal returned from injury. Not only did the streak begin on the night of his return, but Washington is now 8-2 in the last 10 games that he's played. Beal should be a factor once again, especially since he's averaging 29.5 points on 46.5% shooting in his last six games against the Spurs.
It's also tough to imagine the Spurs pulling off an upset after how bad they've been lately. Over the last five games, San Antonio is averaging 12.0 turnovers with a minus-14.4 scoring margin. What's even worse is that Gregg Popovich's team has allowed at least 128 points in four of those contests.
Even though the Wizards haven't won in San Antonio since 1999, that's going to change tonight. The Wizards are the clear-cut better team and not even a hometown crowd can help the Spurs end their recent struggles.
Final Score Prediction: Wizards: 127 | Spurs: 118
Spurs vs. Wizards Best Bet
There's a solid possibility that the over is going to be hit tonight. First of all, the over is 16-4 in the Spurs' last 20 games and 5-2 in the Wizards' last seven against Western Conference foes. Secondly, the over has been hit in seven of the last nine San Antonio-Washington matchups, averaging a combined total of 251.7 points over that stretch.
With the Spurs and Wizards combining for 310 points in their last get-together in February 2022, it's clear that the over is the best bet tonight.
Bet: Over 241 Points (-110)
