Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

WAS Wizards

The Wizards have barely won twice in a row this season. After beating Brooklyn on December 30, the team lost four times in a row. Washington failed to cope with Atlanta (126:130) and New York (105:121) at home, and on the road twice lost to Cleveland (101:140 and 90:114).

As you can see from the latest results, Washington's problem is still playing defense. The capital team concedes 126.1 points per game on average, which is the worst result in the league at the moment. 

OKC Thunder

The Thunder, on the other hand, rarely lose this season, but they approach the matchup with Washington after two straight losses. The team went on the road, where they first lost to Atlanta (128:131) and then to Brooklyn (115:124). 

Oklahoma is still in the conference lead - with a 23-11 balance third in the West.

Expert Betting Tips

Oklahoma lost two matches in a row, which shows the vulnerability of Thunder and the fact that gradually along the distance of the championship they will fall lower in the standings. However, Mark Danault's team is still likely to win convincingly against Washington. Wizzards have not found the game balance by the end of the first half of the season and for a much more balanced Oklahoma is hardly a really strong opponent. Let's bet on Thunder and the total over.
