Washington at New York

Life in the Big Apple was rosy a year ago as the Knicks put it all together and made a credible playoff run. That life under the big microscope is often hard to live by, and the finicky Knicks have gotten off slow and are truly feeling the pressure here. There have been few Garden parties this season, as the Knicks' 4-8 MSG record would be quick to point out. Washington hasn't lived up to the potential either, and have dropped four straight, but the Knicks haven't been on the level of their last three opponents in Atlanta, Denver, and the Los Angeles Clippers, and I think the Wizards respond here as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five following an ATS loss. The Knicks, on one day of rest, are thinking too much as indicated by a poor 1-10 ATS mark in their last 11. Make the play on Washington.
