Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards: The Dubs need to turn up the engines
The Golden State Warriors are visiting the Washington Wizards on Tuesday at Capital One Arena.
The Warriors are starting a four-game road trip on the East
The Golden State Warriors are tenth in the Western Conference with a 29-27 record. They have won 8 of the last 10 games but are coming off a 119-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors are sixth in the league, scoring 119.2 points per game and also shooting 37.8% from three-point territory. Steph Curry is having another solid season, leading the Dubs with 27.7 points and 5.1 assists per game.
The Wizards are having a season to forget
The Washington Wizards are 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 9-48 record. They have lost the last 11 games and are still searching for their first win in the month of February. The Wizards are coming off a 114–105 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are 17th in the league, scoring 114.4 points per game, and 27th, shooting 34.9% from behind the arc. Kyle Kuzma is the Wizards’ leading scorer, averaging 22 points per game.
Betting Trends
The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games against Washington. They are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 games overall, 5-0 ATS in the last five road games and 8-1 ATS in the last 9 games against teams from the Eastern Conference. Washington is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 home games played on Tuesday and 2-6 ATS in the last 8 games against teams from the Pacific Division.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Warriors have been playing much better in the past month and will push hard in order to get back to the playoffs. Starting the four-game East Coast road trip with a win is a must for them, especially knowing that they will play the Wizards, who are the worst team in the league lately. Washington has lost the last 11 games, and it will be a miracle if they end the losing streak against Golden State. It will be interesting to see how Jordan Poole will play against his former teammates, but it is pretty unlikely that he will be of any help to the Wizards. The Warriors will take control of the game early on and win by covering the -10.5-point spread.
