.This is the second of a back-to-back spot for Washington, but what does that matter when you're young? This is a young Wizards team that is also playing with enthusiasm. They're on a 5-1 SU/ATS run punctuated by last night's thrilling 103-100 comeback win at the Lakers. Trailing by 18 points 3,000 miles from home didn't faze this young group, and they didn't quit, pulling off another impressive win as a +9 dog. The Wizards are 23-6-1 ATS against the Western Conference and 20-7 ATS playing on no days rest. Washington is 20-15 since John Wall returned to the lineup. Golden State is home after a three-game road trip, getting beat in San Antonio, 104-93. The Warriors are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games overall and when these teams meet, the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. In addition, the Warriors have been getting back to playing defense for Coach Mark Jackson, on a 7-2 run UNDER the total as they hope to hang on to their playoffs seed. And Washington has been playing good defense all season - No. 6 in the NBA in points allowed, and is 37-14 UNDER the total on the road. Play the Wizards and take the UNDER.
