Nets vs. Wizards Prediction

After a rough start to the season, the Nets have found their groove more recently. This is in stark contrast to the Wizards who got off to a respectable start but have floundered badly in recent weeks. Perhaps most impressively, the Nets proved against the Pacers that they can get the job done even when several of their star players are absent from the court.

The Wizards' defense has left a lot to be desired lately and their offensive rates haven't been enough to make up for that. Considering the alarming skid they're currently on, coupled with the fact that the Nets have already beaten them during said skid, a Brooklyn win tonight seems very likely.

Prediction: Nets -6 (-110)
