Wizards vs Nets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Nets listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nets have been through a lot as a team in the last year between things that were going on in the off-season to things that cropped up during this season already off the court. They are finally starting to play some winning basketball though and there is too many talented players in their starting rotation to be performing the way they have been lately. Simmons has been playing a lot better lately and Durant and Irving are doing what they are supposed to be doing on the court. The Wizards are off to another decent start this season just like they were last year but things fell apart for them last season and they are already barely keeping above .500. They have some good players on their team between Beal, Kuzma, and Porzingis but they have been struggling to win road games lately and this will be a tough team for them to play. The Nets are starting to roll now that there is some stability within the organization and this is a team that is still expected to do great things this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nets to cover the spread in this game.
