Knicks on a roll

The Knicks are rolling on a six-game straight-up and ATS run. On Sunday, the most recent win came over the Lakers 112-100. OG Anunoby led the way with 25 points and eight rebounds, followed by Landry Shamet with 23 points, and Josh Hart with 20 points. Jalen Brunson added 12 points and a game-high 13 assists, and Karl Anthony-Towns pulled down 13 rebounds and added 11 points.

New York is now second in the Eastern Conference standings but has the best odds on DraftKings to win the conference at +320. As a team, the Knicks are third in the NBA in offensive efficiency. They are also seventh averaging 117.6 ppg, and third shooting just under 38% from three. On defense, the Knicks are seventh allowing 112.1 ppg, and 12th in efficiency.

Looking for direction

The Washington Wizards have the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference and are 9-16 straight up at home. Despite the poor record, the Wizards have won three of their last four games and have covered in four of their last five. On Sunday, Washington took down Sacramento 116-112 as a one-point home dog. Will Riley led the Wizards with 18 points off the bench in the victory, with AJ Johnson adding 17 points.

On the season, Washington is 26th in offensive efficiency and 25th avering 112.3 ppg. On defense, the Wizards are 29th allowing 122.5 ppg, and also 29th in efficiency.

Leading the Wizards on the season is Alex Sarr with 17.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. He had 16 points and six rebounds in the win over the Kings.

New York Knicks vs Washington Wizards Predictions

Knicks vs Wizards ATS Picks:

  • Wizards +13.5 (4 units)

Backing Washington here is ugly, but this is a bad spot for the Knicks. New York has won six straight games and is coming off a big home win over the Lakers. After this game, the Knicks will play on a back-to-back, facing the Denver Nuggets at home on Wednesday. Seeing that the Knicks have beaten the Wizards 10 straight times, and have this game sandwiched between two marquee games, I think that New York could be die let down, or at least take their foot off the brakes late. I expect New York to win, but they are only 4-11 ATS as a road favorite this season. I like the Wizards, who are 4-1 ATS in their last five games to cover the big number.

Knicks vs Wizards Total Pick:

  • Under 226.5 (4 units)

Over the last seven games, New York ranks No. 1 in defensive efficiency while sitting 23rd in pace, a combination that consistently suppresses scoring. Washington hasn’t helped matters on its end either, ranking just 27th in offensive efficiency over that same stretch.

This sets up as a classic Knicks game script where they control tempo, defend at a high level, and limit easy looks. With a bigger matchup looming tomorrow, New York has every incentive to win efficiently rather than push pace. All signs point to a slower, defense-driven contest that stays under the number.
