Preview

Washington Wizards will meet Brooklyn Nets On Thursday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, It will be their Fourth matchup this season after the Nets won the first 2 games then the Wizards won the last game by one point which was on 11 February.

Brooklyn Nets come to this game after a thrilling game with New York Knicks in which the Nets came all the way back from losing by 28 points at some point in the game to winning the game by 5 points! (111-106). Brooklyn have been playing better after the trade even without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, as they have got a very good 3 point shooter in Seth Curry and one of the best rebounders in the league in Andre Drummond and with the rookie Cam Thomas playing some really good basketball at the moment. Brooklyn are 6-2 straight up last 8 games vs Washington Wizards at home. The over is 5-1 last 6 Nets games and the over is also 4-2 last 6 games vs the Wizards.

Washington Wizards have been so inconsistent lately as they are 3-16-1 last 29 games this season! Washington are 2-7-1 ATS last 10 games and the Under have hit 8 of last 12 Wizards games. Washington Wizards will be missing ton of players that they had last game Vs the Nets in the one point game win as they have traded Dinwidde, Bertans, Aaron Holiday and with Bradley Beal's injury and Porzingiz being Out, I think the Nets won't have much problems Vs this bad Wizards team that are coming off a loss to the Pacers that were on 7 games losing streak! 

In the 3 meeting between both teams this season, Wizards are averaging 107 points while the Nets are averaging 111.6. I like that the Nets have the momentum here, started playing better and they are a better team than the Wizards of course as they are still the favourites to win the title even after the 11 games losing streak.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris and Ben Simmons are all still out for Brooklyn Nets.

Bradley Beal and K.Porzingiz are still out while Hachimura and Gafford are Questionable for Washington Wizards.

Head to Head

Washington Wizards are 6-4 straight up and 6-3-1 Vs the Nets last 10 games But the Wizards are 1-2 to the Nets this season so far. O/U is 5-5 with the Wizards scoring an average of 115.7 points and the Nets scoring an average of 116.3 points

Prediction

I expect the Nets to take the momentum of their insane win over the Knicks here and keep it going, they went into a bad 11 losing streak and now after the trade they are playing better with more energy and look to stack some wins together. On the other hand, the Wizards are so inconsistent losing to the bad Pacers team yesterday. I like the Nets to keep the stream going and cover here.

Pick: Brooklyn Nets -3 (-110)
