Washington is in a quick payback situation after losing at New Orleans 132-120 on Friday and it now gets a home game against the Pelicans, whose season was ruined from the start due to a plethora of injuries. The Wizards are 8-0 ATS their past eight games as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points and they have covered five of six home games. Washington also is 5-1 ATS its past six versus teams with losing records. New Orleans is understandably 0-6 ATS as a road favorite and 3-6 ATS overall its past nine games. Friday's win snapped an 11-game slide for the Pelicans, who haven't won two in a row since the first two games of the season. The game went OVER by 20 points for the sixth consecutive OVER for New Orleans. Washington has gone OVER four of six. Take the Wizards and the OVER.
