Wizards spread the scoring load
Washington (4-21 SU, 8-17 ATS, and 15-10 O/U) played Memphis on Saturday after this article was published. It was 3-7 straight-up and 5-5 against the spread in its previous ten games.
Center Alex Sarr leads Washington with 19.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game. The second-year pro shoots 51.0 percent from the floor. The Wizards score 112.0 points per game (26th) on 46.1 percent shooting (20th), including 36.4 percent from beyond the arc (13th). Defensively, Washington gives up 126.4 points per game (29th), and its opponents shoot 48.1 percent (23rd), including 37.1 percent from beyond the arc (24th).
The Wizards went 18-64 last season, finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference. Washington was in a clear rebuild, as rookies accounted for 35 percent of the team's minutes. The front office made a few moves to resign and acquire veteran players this offseason, as well. Khris Middleton picked up his player option, and CJ McCollum was brought in via a trade with New Orleans, giving the Wiz two former All-Stars to lead the group. Malcolm Brogdon (free agent), Jordan Poole (trade), and Marcus Smart (waived) were allowed to leave, with youngsters Cam Whitmore (20th pick in the 2023 NBA draft) and Tre Johnson (sixth pick in the 2025 draft) brought in to take their place. The big man Sarr is the centerpiece of the Wizards' rebuild after he averaged 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 blocks as a rookie.
Washington Wizards Basketball Injury Report:
- SF Corey Kispert (8.9 PPG), SF Khris Middleton (10.4 PPG), and G Malaki Branham (3.6 PPG) are questionable to play vs. the Spurs.
Spurs vs. Wizards Pick and Preview
Spread Pick for Spurs vs. Wizards
- San Antonio covers (4 Units)
The Spurs have solidified themselves as serious contenders, while the Wizards are tanking for another lottery pick. San Antonio is an efficient offensive squad (5th in eFG%) capable of dominating Washington in the paint (9th in rim%) and beyond the arc (9th in 3PT%). The Wizards are playing a back-to-back and haven't been more competitive ATS than straight-up this season. They'll struggle to keep pace with the rested visitors, as they don't take care of the basketball (27th in TO%) and rarely get to the charity stripe (26th in FT attempt rate).

Over/Under Pick for Spurs vs. Wizards
- Under (4 Units)
San Antonio will lean more on its defense in this game, particularly in the second half when it has established a comfortable lead. The Spurs have played an extra game than most teams due to the NBA Cup and will use this game against a non-competitive opponent to take their foot off the pedal and coast ahead of more important matchups. I expect Wemby to keep Sarr in check, putting too much pressure on the Wizards' role players to pick up the slack. The slower-tempo Spurs (15th in pace) will dictate the tempo, resulting in a lower-scoring game.
