1.86Tip and bets
Considering how New York defeated the Lakers, and Washington's difficult but successful match against Sacramento, the meeting at Capital One Arena looks like a confrontation between the division leader and a team weakened by injuries. The Wizards are still missing Trey Young and Cam Whitmore, which seriously affects the depth of the squad and the stability of the attack. The Knicks, even with personnel problems, retain a powerful starting core and reliable defense. Bookmakers have already set odds, and in such conditions, betting on guests looks the most rational. Our betting tip is based on the difference in class and the current shape of the teams.
Our betting tip is for New York to win with a head start (-10.5) points for 1.74
