Prediction
The Portland Trail Blazers will defeat the Washington Wizards on the road and cover the 6.5-point spread. Despite both teams’ subpar seasons, the Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA. They can’t stop a nosebleed defensively. Without Alex Sarr in this game, no one will be able to pull Donovan Clingan away from the rim defensively. Even though he is a rookie, his 7’2″ frame has him on the shortlist of some of the best rim protectors in the NBA. Anfernee Simons will get whatever he wants against the Washington Wizards as the Portland Trail Blazers win and cover the spread in this game.
Final Pick
Portland Trail Blazers -6.5 (-110)
