The Washington Wizards spent several years at the bottom of the league. They have put together a team that's on the rise that made the playoffs last season, and appear to be on their way to bigger and better things this season at 21-8. They will be tested by a Houston team that is also 21-8 on the season, but the Rockets have taken the bulk of those losses at home where they have not taken advantage of their home court early in the season. The Wizards were once a road disaster, but are 7-4 on the road this season, including three straight wins as they are on an 8-2 run in their last 10 games overall. The Wizards have stepped it up on the road against a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600, where they are a robust and profitable 13-3 ATS in their last 16. While they're till riding under the radar, play on Washington.
