Betting on the Washington Wizards
- Regular Season Record: 24-26
The Wizards have six wins in a row, not including Friday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, and this great momentum has vaulted them into Play-In tournament spots in the Eastern Conference. The team seemed destined to trade several veterans like Kyle Kuzma and Will Barton, but the positive streak it is on could change management’s plans.
Kuzma’s case is a very particular one, as the former Los Angeles Lakers player will be a free agent at the end of the current season.However, his great performance, 21.8 points per game, and the team’s good moment seem to suggest that the Wizards will not trade him, and that they will try to negotiate a new contract with him once the campaign is over.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 31-20
The Brooklyn Nets are in fourth place in the East, and for now, the goal is to continue to weather the storm until Kevin Durant returns.
Australian Ben Simmons has also been sidelined for the last three games due to a discomfort on his left knee. The player was evaluated again this Friday, and no structural damage was found in the area, but for now, his possible return date is still unknown. T.J. Warren has suffered a calf discomfort and will be absent on Saturday’s game.
For now, all the offensive weight will remain over the shoulders of Kyrie Irving, who is averaging 31 points per game in his last 10 appearances. Yet, surprisingly, he demanded to be traded from the team on Friday. The exact reasons for such petition are not known, but they most likely have to do with a failed contract negotiation with the Brooklyn franchise. It’s a real possibility that we won’t see him on the court this Saturday either.
JefeBet Prediction
The Nets have defeated the Wizards three times this season, but it is important to keep in mind that all of those games featured Kevin Durant.
Considering that the Wizards are at their best moment of the campaign and with all their players available, and that the Nets have several important absences, plus the possibility that Kyrie himself will not play due to his recent transfer request, at JefeBet, we believe that the team from the capital will finally be able to taste victory against Brooklyn.
Prediction: Washington Wizards Spread.
