Betting on Washington Wizards
- Season Record: 18-26
The Washington Wizards had to deal with the absence of their big star, Bradley Beal, for much of the season and that of course has not allowed them to be consistent in the 2022-2023 campaign.
Beal is close to returning and will be evaluated until the last minute to know his availability for this game. The capital team is ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference standings and is 2 games away from a Play-In spot.
Kristaps Porzingis is coming off a 32-points performance in his most recent game against the Golden State Warriors, and if Beal can’t take the court, his team will need another such performance to have a chance against the Knicks.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Season Record: 25-20
The Knicks have had a solid season led by Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, who could be considered for the 2023 All-Star Game to be played in Utah.
The team led by Tom Thibodeau has won seven of its last 10 games and currently sits sixth in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks beat the Wizards 112-108 in their only meeting of the current NBA season on January 13, in a game in which Jalen Brunson starred with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in 40 minutes played.
JefeBet Prediction
The Knicks have shown a very good performance throughout the season, although playing at home, they have left many doubts with a record of 11-12. Fortunately for the New York team, the Wizards are a bad visiting team with a 7-16 record and the uncertainty of Bradley Beal’s constant absences makes the outlook for a good result at Madison Square Garden very difficult for them. These teams met less than a week ago and the Big Apple team won, so things should not change this time.
Prediction: New York Knicks Spread.
