Wizards vs. Knicks Prediction

The Wizards are just 1-5 in their last six games. Their sole win in that time was over the Chicago Bulls. Star shooting guard Bradley Beal has been out recently due to his hamstring injury. It's hardly a coincidence that the team's latest dip has been in conjunction with his injury woes. On offense, the team is struggling to get the job done from long range. Defensively, they've been largely average.

The Knicks, meanwhile, were looking strong prior to their recent Raptors loss. In their most recent game, RJ Barrett looked impressive with 32 points and seven rebounds. The team did, however, show weakness in both the three-point range and from the field. They will have to be more aggressive on offense if they want to secure the win tonight.

With the home-court advantage and proof already that they have the Wizards' number, the Knicks should be able to resume winning ways tonight.
