Wizards vs Knicks NBA Preview
The Knicks are on the second night of a back-to-back, but they snapped a three-game losing streak by taking care of business at home against Chicago.
Mitchell Robinson tweaked his ankle in that game, though he did return to the bench.
It's unlikely he'll suit up in many back-to-backs this season — if any — especially considering this was his season debut.
New York won and covered on Thursday, defeating the Bulls 128-116 after losing to them by 10 in Chicago two nights earlier.
The Knicks now sit at 3-3 on the season, both straight up and against the spread, as they host Washington for the first time.
The Wizards, meanwhile, are off to a rough start at 1-5, with their only win coming against the Mavericks in Dallas.
They've dropped four straight (three at home) by a combined 81 points to the Hornets, 76ers, Thunder and Magic.
Injury-wise, Khris Middleton is questionable for Washington, while Robinson remains day-to-day and is unlikely to play tonight.
Wizards vs Knicks Prediction, Betting Analysis
Here, I like Mikal Bridges over 8.5 rebounds + assists.
Quietly, Bridges has gone over this number in five of six games, and yet, it's still +100 on DraftKings as of this writing.
His floor this season in RA? Eight. Right at the number.
The Wizards allow the sixth-most rebounds per 100 possessions (46.8) and ninth-most assists (26.6).
They also rank second in pace while bottom-three in offense and defense, which should provide plenty of rebounding and playmaking opportunities for the Knicks.
You just hope Bridges gets this done before the game potentially gets out of hand.
Pick: Mikal Bridges Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100)
Spread
No play for me on the spread.
