Washington vs Brooklyn Prediсtion: the Nets Will Even the Season Series with the Wizards

Brooklyn and Washington are the teams at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, but the Nets, unlike the Wizards, still have a shot at climbing into the play-in zone. Will the upcoming meeting be all about the tournament motivation, and will the New Yorkers pull off a win on their home court? We've got a prediction and a bunch of betting options for you.

Washington

The Wizards are heading to New York the day after their game in Florida with Orlando. Yesterday's meeting didn't bring the capital team a victory, as expected. Washington didn't even score 100 points, with the final score being 90-110. It's worth mentioning that NBA champion Khris Middleton, who's new to the team, didn't play in this game, and Jordan Poole was the Wizards' top performer with 16 points.

Washington's loss yesterday brings their record to six straight losses, and they've only won nine games out of 47 with Brian Keefe as their coach. The Wizards are still last in defense, conceding 121.7 points per game on average, and they're fourth to last on offense, scoring 108.4 points per game.

Brooklyn

Washington has been out of the running for a tournament title since the start of the championship, but Brooklyn still has a shot at the play-in. The Nets beat Philadelphia the other day and are now 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 21-35 record, just 0.5 wins behind top-10 Chicago.

Brooklyn beat the 76ers based on the results of the face-to-face match. On February 23, Jordy Fernandez's team beat Philly on their home court, 105–103. Nick Claxton nailed the winning shot with just a second left on the clock.

H2H Meetings

Washington is currently leading the season series with a score of 1:0, but last season, Brooklyn took three out of four games from the Wizards.

Stats Betting

• Seven of the last nine H2H meetings were won by Brooklyn.
• Washington scored more than 219 points in six of their previous eight games.
• Brooklyn hasn't reached 109 points in seven games in a row.
• Washington has scored more than 104 points in seven of the last nine games.

Expert Betting Tips

Brooklyn lost to Washington in the first game of the season series. Interestingly, this is only one of two losses for the Nets in their last nine games. At the same time, Jordi Fernandez's team beat Houston twice, Miami and Philadelphia once each. We think the New Yorkers can get back at the Wizards. We're betting on a Brooklyn win, and we're expecting another low-scoring game for the New York team this season.
