Betting on Washington Wizards
- Preseason record: 17-22
From a poor start to the season to winning four of the last five games. That’s how cyclical the 2022-23 season has been for the Wizards, who suffered a 113-123 away loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last Sunday.
Taj Gibson will miss the game against the Thunder, while Bradley Beal and Daniel Gafford are doubtful. On the other hand, the most outstanding player is Kristaps Porzingis, who is the top scorer with 22.2 points on average per game, and also the one who grabs the most rebounds (8.9 on average), while Monte Morris has the most assists, with 5.4 on average.
Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Preseason record: 16-22
If we look at the last five games, the Thunder alternated losses and victories, although there were more losses (3), the last one being last week’s 126-115 loss to Orlando Magic.
The good news for this team is that, even if the absence of Jaylin Williams is confirmed, this may be their only loss. Shai Gilgeous Alexander leads the team in both points scored and assists with averages of 30.9 and 5.7 per game. Josh Giddey, who averages eight rebounds per game, has the most.
JefeBet Prediction
This’ll be an evenly matched clash, given that both are at the bottom of their respective conferences. The Wizards’ away record is 7-15, while the Thunders’ home record is 11-9. Thus, at JefeBet we believe that the visiting team will win.
