Wizards are No Match for Warriors in DC
The Golden State Warriors seemingly find success everywhere they go, and it’s no different in the nation’s capital. In the Warriors’ last five trips to D.C., they’re 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS. Stephen Curry and company will renew acquaintances with the Wizards in Washington on Wednesday.
The Warriors (44-4 SU, 29-18-1 ATS) are catching the Wizards (21-25 SU, 23-23 ATS) at the right time. Washington is a paltry 1-4 SU and ATS heading into the tilt. After dropping two of three in mid January, the Warriors are flying high once again, winning eight straight while going 5-3 ATS in that span.
Curry hasn’t been his normal dominant self as of late, but fellow splash brother Klay Thompson has picked up the slack in his place. Curry is averaging 16.7 points on 18-of-47 shooting from the field in the last three matchups, while Thompson is averaging 37 points and is 42-of-64 from the field.
If the Wizards are going to contain the Warriors (the team with the best offense in the league), they’re going to make some major changes on the defensive end of the floor. Randy Wittman’s club have allowed opponents to average 115 points in their prior five games.
