LiontipsNew York Knicks - Washington Wizards: betting tip (kef 1.72) and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
New York is now a team with character. Not perfect, but very tenacious. The victory over Brooklyn (93:92) on March 21 is just one of those that harden. At first, the Knicks seemed to forget that the match had already started: 14 points in the first quarter. By the big break, they were losing, the game was not going well, the ball was not going. But after a pause, it's a completely different conversation. The team seemed to remember who she was and why she had come out onto the floor. The third quarter is 31:15, and now New York is ahead. The defense has become tighter, the movements are faster, the decisions are more accurate. However, the ending turned out to be nervous. We led +14, and then we allowed the opponent to make a 17-0 breakthrough. Karl-Anthony Towns was the leader with 26 points and 15 rebounds, powerful and confident. Jaylen Brunson added 17 points and, more importantly, kept the game under control in the crucial minutes. And the third place in the East with a balance of 46-25.
Current form
But Washington has a completely different story now. The team lost to Oklahoma at home — 111:132, and this defeat looks even harder than the score. We started briskly, the first quarter was 32:32, everything was alive, everything was on an equal footing. But then there is a gradual downward slide. After a long break, the Wizards just couldn't keep up the pace. The defense crumbled: the opponent's passes, easy points from under the ring, quick attacks — all this went practically without resistance. By the way, everything was not bad in attack: the percentage of hits was decent, three-pointers flew. Bilal Coulibaly scored 21 points, tried, moved, looked for chances. The result is 16-54 and a confident last place in the East.

Tip and bets
New York is organized, combative, with a clear structure and understandable leaders. Washington is in search of itself, with problems in defense and rotation. The Knicks are heading into the series, have just pulled off a tough match, and are clearly in good shape. They have the depth of the squad, they have leaders, they have an understanding of how to close such games. Washington's situation is the opposite: personnel losses, instability, and protection that cracks under pressure. Therefore, logic suggests a simple and understandable choice: The Knicks should take this match confidently. The question is more about the size of the advantage than the winner.
Our prediction is that New York will win with a handicap of (-15.5) points in 1.72
