The Spurs have struggled, recording a 1-2 record in three consecutive one-point games. The points will be there versus the Wizards, hence the Over is the optimal wager this evening.
The San Antonio Spurs have lost three of four games at the commencement of a six-game road trip. They anticipate that a visit to Washington, D.C., to face the NBA’s least successful team, the Wizards, will facilitate their return to victory.
Given that both teams rank in the lower echelon of the NBA in scoring defense, our predictions for the Spurs vs. Wizards anticipate a high-scoring contest during the 7 p.m. tip-off on Monday, February 10.
Prediction for Spurs versus Wizards
My optimal wager: Over 235.5 (-110 at bet365)
My assessment
The San Antonio Spurs may have expedited their schedule by acquiring the talented point guard De’Aaron Fox, however the victories have not aligned accordingly.
The Spurs suffered a 112-111 defeat to the Orlando Magic in their last game, marking their second consecutive one-point setback following Fox’s debut in a 126-125 victory against Atlanta.
They have secured only four victories in the last 13 matches, with defense being a significant issue. San Antonio is conceding an average of 121.4 points per game, with opponents shooting an impressive 49.4% from the field and 39% from three-point range.
The Washington Wizards are experiencing the same issue, which has persisted throughout the year. They are conceding 121.6 points per game, the lowest average in basketball.
Washington recently suffered a 125-111 defeat to the Hawks, following a 134-124 loss to the Cavaliers.
Following a New Year’s victory to commence 2025, the Wizards have secured only three wins in the subsequent 18 games.
The team will be somewhat undermanned for the battle against the Spurs, as experienced trade deadline acquisitions Marcus Smart and Khris Middleton are anticipated to make their debuts following the All-Star break. Forwards Anthony Gill (ankle) and Alex Sarr (ankle) have been excluded, while Kyshawn George (ankle) is designated as questionable.
This will be the second and concluding game between these clubs, as the Spurs won the initial encounter on their home court 139-130.
Given that both clubs are consistently losing points, it is an opportune moment to examine the aggregate. The Over has been successful in four of the last six matchups, and the Spurs have over the total in all three games since adding Fox.
The Wizards are the team most likely to help Victor Wembanyama overcome his recent struggles with 3-point shooting, as opponents have achieved a precise 36.6% shooting percentage from beyond the arc against them this season, ranking eighth-worst in the league.
Wemby has not made three three-pointers in a game during his last four attempts, following a period in which he successfully made at least three in six of seven games.
In their sole encounter this season, he achieved a career-high 50 points against the Wizards, including an 8-for-16 performance from beyond the arc. Seek him to ascertain the range in DC.
Jordan Poole, known for his inconsistency, has surpassed his scoring line of 20.5 in his last two games, following a stretch in which he failed to exceed 20 points in nine of ten contests.
Similar to Wemby, Poole recalls the November encounter positively, having scored 42 points on 15-for-22 shooting against the Spurs. This is his second-highest performance of the season.
