San Antonio at Washington

It is hard to go against this San Antonio team under any circumstances, as they have been an elite team for well over a decade. And the one sure thing you can count on with this team is that they show up every night. The Spurs have no problem playing on the road where thy own a 17-5 mark on the season, and they own an 11-1 straight-up mark this year on the road when facing a team with a winning percentage of less than .520. Washington has played better of late, but could be facing a letdown after a big win vs. Portland here in their last game. The Spurs are 43-19-1 ATS in their last 63 vs. the East, and own an 18-6-2 ATS mark vs. Washington in the last 26 meetings, including 6-0 ATS last six here. Play on San Antonio. Also take the UNDER. The Spurs have averaged 103.7 points per game on the season, but that figure has dropped to 94.8 per game over their last five. The good news for them is that their defense has been stellar all season long, even on the road. In fact, the Spurs allow fewer points away from home (95.3) than they do at home (over 97 per game)! Washington, in a similar fashion has seen their offense struggle a bit over the last five games while their defense has picked things up over the same period (94.0 per game allowed). Take the Spurs and the UNDER here.
