The current betting odds have the Nets listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nets have been one of the better teams in the East this year with their 31-20 record overall and they have been great in their home games with a 15-8 home record. They have been dealing with some injuries to key players like Kevin Durant but the team has still been getting by lately and they are going to have the advantage of rest in this game. The Wizards haven't been great this year with their 24-26 losing record overall and they haven't been great in road games either with a 12-16 road record. They have been playing a lot better in their games lately though but they are also going to be on a back-to-back here and the Nets will be able to take advantage of that late in this game here at home. The Wizards have been very hot lately now that Bradley Beal is healthy again but their run will come to an end soon and this is a great spot for it to. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nets to cover the spread in this game.
