Warriors vs Wizards prediction

Warriors vs Wizards best bet: Warriors -7.5 (-110)

The Golden State Warriors have lost five straight, but they’re up against a Washington Wizards team that has dropped its last 11 and is among the league's worst teams. 

Golden State has dominated Washington in recent memory, grabbing six consecutive victories, covering tonight's spread in each. 

The Wizards have also lost five of their last six contests by at least 10 points, and have failed to cover in two of their previous three home games. Washington ranks in the Bottom 5 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, further providing a soft landing for a reeling Warriors side tonight.

Warriors vs Wizards same-game parlay

Brandin Podziemski is having a solid campaign, averaging 13 points per game. Without Stephen Curry, he’s getting even more of a run recently, and has cashed the Over in back-to-back contests, dropping 25 points in each. 

He’s also hit the Over in three of his previous four appearances on the road, and as we know, the Wizards are horrendous defensively.

Gui Santos is another piece who is playing well, cashing the Over in four of his last five, and in three straight. Santos is averaging 15.7 PPG this month as well across seven outings. 

He’s also averaging over 35 minutes per night in March compared to 30 in February, giving him a greater opportunity for higher totals.
