(NBA) Washington vs. Brooklyn,
Total: 218.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Nets OVER.

I am on the over in the Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets game on Thursday. The Wizards have been putting up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and their defensive effort hasn't been that great in those games either since they have given up 100+ points in 4 of those games. They just lost their most recent game to the Pacers who don't have a lot of talent left on their team after being a big seller before the trade deadline passed and I think that loss is rubbing them the wrong way. They are on a B2B here and I think that will help them put that loss in the rear view mirror and focus on the Nets here who have been having their own issues lately. The Wizards made a trade for Kristaps Porzingis to help them with their defense but he is still out with an injury and until he returns I don't see the Wizards playing well on defense and forcing turnovers when they need them. The Nets just won their most recent game making it 2 in a row for them and they were even down by 20+ points in that game before making a comeback and winning over the Knicks. The Nets have been putting up 100+ points in 4 games in a row but their defense has been terrible and it has been a problem for them all year. The Nets have given up 100+ points to every opposing team except for 1 in all of their games going back to December 7. Their defensive effort has been terrible all year and I think the Wizards will be able to put up a ton of points on them here and I expect them to be motivated to win after that loss to the Pacers. It took a lot for the Nets to come back against the Knicks and they are also on a B2B here, I think the Nets will be tired from that Knicks game and I expect the effort they put out on defense to suffer because of it. The Nets will also put up points though since this is a revenge game for them after losing to the Wizards on Feb 10 113-112 and the Wizards have been blowing a lot of leads lately so I don't expect them to have a good effort on defense either. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 124-120 Nets.
