Is the UNDER Worth a Look in Wizards-Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are doing just fine in the absence of Kevin Durant, rattling off 11 wins in a row ahead of Sunday’s contest with the Washington Wizards. Sportsbooks opened the Dubs as 10-point home chalk with a total of 224.5.
Washington is aiming to finish about .500 on their five-game road trip but will be in tough vs the red-hot Warriors. Golden State has scored at least 100 points in every game during its winning streak and received 24 from All-Star point guard Stephen Curry in Friday’s win over the Houston Rockets.
The Wiz are tied with the Toronto Raptors for the third-best record in the East right now, but they’ve been a risky play in their last two games. The Wizards gave up 133 points to the Los Angeles Clippers before scoring only 88 in a loss to the Utah Jazz. John Wall shot only 6-of-22 and finished with five assists.
Watch out for Klay Thompson in this one. The shooting guard has made 20 3-pointers while shooting at least 40 percent from the beyond the arc in each contest.
