Are the Wizards Worth a Look as Big Home Dogs vs the High-Octane Warriors?
The Golden State Warriors have won three consecutive games and six of seven but still trail Houston by a half-game in the race for the top spot in the Western Conference. The Dubs have averaged a sizzling 122.9 points per game over their last seven and travel to D.C. on Wednesday to do battle with the Washington Wizards. The Dubs have enjoyed their trips east lately, as Golden State is 9-0 SU in its last nine on the road against East Coast teams.
Sportsbook opened the Wizards as 8.5-point home underdogs with a total of 227.
All-star forward Kevin Durant notched 31 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in a triumph over his hometown team earlier this season and has reached the 20-point mark on eight occasions this month. Shooting guard Klay Thompson went 1-for-11 from three-point range in Saturday’s win over Oklahoma City but managed to collect 26 points in Monday’s road victory over New York – his best showing of the month.
The Wizards topped Milwaukee 107-104 on Tuesday to improve to 5-1 SU in their last six outings and begin a four-game homestand tonight. Point guard Tomas Satoransky has been impressive while starting in place of the injured John Wall, as the Czech Republic native has recorded six or more assists in five of his last six games.
