T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets.

I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Thursday. The Nets have lost 9 games in a row now and I think it is time for them to end their losing skid here with a win over the Wizards. The Nets have been in deep hot water ever since losing Kevin Durant to injury. They have been losing even more lately since they have been missing James Harden too who is also injured now. They are on the road here though and I think this is their best shot to end their skid and get a win since they will at least have Kyrie Irving back in their rotation. The Wizards have been struggling in their own way lately, they have had a huge issue with taking big leads in games, usually 10+ points, and then blowing those leads to end up losing the game. Not only have they looked terrible lately blowing all of these leads, but they are also missing arguably their best player in Bradley Beal who is out due to injury. This is really going to be more of a game that has almost no stars playing in it because of all the injuries and since that's the case I expect the Nets to win this game since they still have Irving playing along with supporting role players and a bunch that is stronger than the players the Wizards have. The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row and they have only won 1/9 games in their previous 9. Their games haven't been close either and lately they have been losing by 10+ points in a lot of their games. I think the Nets can take advantage of the struggling Wizards here and I expect them to end their losing skid with a win here. I like the Nets to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 110-107 Nets.
