Knicks vs Wizards predictions

The New York Knicks have won four of their past five games and are looking to make it two straight road victories tonight. Their lone loss in that stretch was in Boston on no rest, so there's no shame in losing that one.

The Knicks been scoring at a pretty decent clip over their hot streak. They've scored 116, 98, 129, and 126 points in their last four games.

A lot of that has to do with strong starts for both Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett, who are each averaging over 22.5 points per game. Julius Randle is averaging a double-double (10.3 rebounds, 19 points) per game as well.

On the other side of things, the Washington Wizards have lost four straight games and eight of their last nine. They've also failed to cover the spread in three of their last four contests.

Washington allows 123.2 points per game this season as its defense is lacking. The Wiz have allowed 121 or more points in seven of 11 games this season.

The Knicks are going to want to make a statement in Washington with a chance to run up the score against an inferior opponent. We've seen them do that recently against the Hornets (129-107 at 10.5-point favorites) and Spurs (126-105 as 9-point favorites).

My best bet: Knicks team total Over 116.5 (-120 via BetMGM)

Knicks -6.5

Over 227.5

Mitchell Robinson Over 11.5 rebounds

We like the Knicks to go over their team total, so we're starting our parlay off with something similar. 

The Knicks are 6-3-2 ATS this season while the Wizards are 5-6-0. New York has covered the spread in each of their last four victories – including those two wins as big favorites. 

Washington has been on the opposite side of that, especially recently. The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five losses. On top of that, they've lost by 13, seven, and 19 points, respectively, in their last three home games.

The Knicks should cover and the game should go Over. Their aforementioned recent victories have all been high-scoring, and a total of 227.5 simply isn't high enough.

The total for Washington games is routinely in the 230s and 240s. The Knicks’ offense should receive more respect given their recent stretch.

Finally, we’re taking Mitchell Robinson to record 12+ rebounds to close out the parlay. The Wizards are dead-last in the NBA in rebounding at 46.3 per game. The Knicks are at the top of the league with 58.5 rebounds per contest.

Robinson has gone over 11.5 rebounds in seven of 11 games this season and should clear that tonight.
