Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Knicks at Wizards game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) likes the Wizards to cover: Washington Wizards +12.5
“Back to the well with the Wiz against the Knicks, some obvious positives to take away from their weekend loss and should have another competitive effort against the weary Knicks team.”
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) believes KAT will have a big day on the glass: Karl Anthony-Towns o12.5 rebounds (-114)
“The Wizards give up 15+ boards per game to opposing centers. It should be a fast-paced game, with a lot of shots on both sides. Give the poor field goal percentage from the Wizards, there will be more available rebounds for KAT in this game. They have already played twice this season, and he pulled down 14 and 12 boards in those games.”
