Against the spread
BET WIZARDS +16.5 (-110).
Washington is 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 games. It is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 games playing as an underdog and 4-0-1 ATS in its last 5 games playing as a double digit underdog. The Wizards are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Timberwolves since 2019.

Washington has scored 112 or fewer points in 6 of its last 10 games and faces a Minnesota team that has allowed 110 or fewer points in 8 of its last 10. While the T-wolves have capabilities of scoring in droves, their defense will play a key factor in the Under hitting on Tuesday night.
