Command Analysis
Team from the capital managed to climb to the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference. This is a serious achievement for Scott Brooks' team since they were out of play-off zone for a long time.
Washington had two consecutive wins, but then lost narrowly to Dallas (124:125). Team fight to the end in this game, but they were unlucky. Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook had 71 points combined, but Mavericks were more fortunate.
Wizards and Indiana are table neighbors, so it will be a crucial game for the situation in the standings.
Pacers are struggling with injuries now, but despite that, team is putting up an impressive performance and fighting for every game. In their last match Indiana secured an away victory with a largest margin in NBA history, their victim was Oklahoma (152:95). That wasn't the only record - Domantas Sabonis put up a triple-double in the first half of the game. He became the first player for the last 25 years who achieved that result.
Pacers are a good team for sure, but not all of their remaining games will be that high-scoring, it will be especially tough for them in a game against Washington, who is in a great form.

Tip and bets
Despite their loss in a last game, Washington is still a dangerous team, especially since they are fighting for a play-off spot. Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal are the ones that shouldn't be underestimated. Indiana is playing successfully against underdogs, but they are having problems against mid-table teams. We think that hosts have more chances for success.
Our prediction - Washington Wizards to win with a handicap of (-3) points.
We think that total suggested by bookies is extremely high for this game. Wizards are a high-scoring team, but Indiana is a hard opponent to face and H2H games between these teams are proving that. So Scott Brooks' team is unlikely to put up many points in an upcoming game.
Our second bet is on total under 249.5 points
