Premium Pick

The Washington Wizards are all about one thing. This team runs up and down the court at a frenetic pace and looks to simply out-score their opponent. The only problem is this philosophy has them sitting on a 4-12 record on the season. They took a season-high 108 shots in their last game vs. Brooklyn, another team that doesn't put any effort into the defensive end. The line is perplexing here, as the Wizards have been posted as an underdog in 10 straight games, and now they are facing a winning team, and are a slight favorite. The Wizards don't carry the favorite role very often, or very well as they are 10-14 SU in their last 24 as chalk. They are also just 1-3 SU as a favorite vs. a winning team the last three years. Make the play on Portland.
