Expert Picks & Predictions
NBC Sports Bet’s expert Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has weighed in on the game, favoring the Nets on the moneyline. "Washington won the only meeting of the year between these teams, and since then, the Wizards have dropped every game. Neither team is going anywhere fast, but I’d have to expect the motivation to win this game would be on Brooklyn’s side. I could only play the Nets on the ML or spread." Dalzell emphasizes the importance of the Nets’ motivation and recent form, which could make a significant difference in this matchup.
