Indiana at Washington

Washington finished at 34-38 and there isn't a more misleading record in this year's postseason pool. Could anyone even guess that since April 6, not one team in the NBA has won more games than Washington? They have 17 straight-up wins since then, going 18-4-2 ATS. They opened the season at 17-32, losing 19 times by double-digits. Playoffs were an afterthought but a 17-7 finish changed all of that. Here is something even more impressive: The Wizards improved their scoring margin from -5.5 to +6, a net gain of +11.5 points per game. Of the seven losses, three were by a single point, another by three points, and another by four points. They were close to going 22-2. Russell Westbrook has carried this team on his back, and I think he has the most influence in this game and won't let the Wizards go down after how far they have come. Indiana suddenly has some injury concerns as well. Make the play on Washington.
