Washington at New Orleans

A pair of teams in dire straits for a win clash tonight in New Orleans as the Washington Wizards look for just their third win on the season. Washington got out of the gate about as slow as it gets, but signs are pointing to a recovery when you look at their last games. They now have two wins, and two overtime losses, and just a 4-point loss to a vastly-improved Golden State team in their last time out. The Hornets surprisingly opened the season with hope at 3-2, but the wheels have fallen off since then as they have logged a woeful 2-12 mark in their last 14 games. The Wizards have been a lot more competitive in their last 11 on the road where they are 7-3-1 ATS. They have a winnable game tonight, as they have taken the money in each of the last five trips here. Play Washington on the moneyline.
