Why The Knicks Could Cover The Spread

The Knicks are a team that struggles to shoot. Yet, they do well from beyond the arc. It makes no sense. Yet, that is what the Knicks are. They rank 28th in field goal shooting percentage and seventh from the triples. Additionally, they are 28th from the charity stripe. But the Knicks are dominant on the boards, ranking fourth in rebounds. Also, they handle the ball well, ranking fifth in turnovers. But the Knicks rarely swat shots away, ranking 30th in blocks.

Brunson is their best player, averaging 22.7 points per game. Also, he is shooting 42.3 percent from the field, including 45.7 percent from the triples. RJ Barrett did not play on Wednesday due to an illness. However, he may play today. Barrett is having a historic year by his standards, averaging 22.6 points per game. Furthermore, he is shooting 48.7 percent from the field, including 50 percent from the 3-point line. Randle is averaging 19 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. However, he shot poorly to start the season, shooting 35.9 percent from the field. Quickley is averaging 15 points per game. Therefore, expect him to do a lot more in this game and make an impact.

The Knicks will cover the spread if they can make their shots from all over the field and build a lead. Then, they must play good defense.

Why The Wizards Could Cover The Spread

The Wizards are having a bad season. However, most expected this as they are in the beginning stages of a true rebuild, not just a partial one. The Wizards are a decent shooting team, ranking 10th in field-goal shooting percentage. Likewise, they are 18th in 3-point shooting percentage. The Wizards struggle at the charity stripe, ranking 22nd in free-throw shooting percentage. Additionally, they are terrible on the boards, ranking 30th in free-throw shooting percentage. The Wizards are not good at handling the ball, ranking 21st in turnovers. Ultimately, they are middle-of-the-road in blocked shots, ranking 17th.

Kuzma averages 23.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Additionally, they are shooting 47.2 percent from the field. Poole averages 16.2 points per game. However, it has not been a good season for his shot, as Poole is shooting 40.6 percent, including 30.1 percent from the 3-point line. Avdija averages 12.7 points per game. Surprisingly, he is having an amazing season, shooting 51.9 percent from the field, including 41.2 percent from the triples. Corey Kispert is their next-best option, averaging 10.4 points per game.

The Wizards will cover the spread if they can hit their shots from the charity stripe. Then, they must defend the 3-point shot while also boxing out.

Final Knicks-Wizards Prediction & Pick

The Knicks are the better team. Thus, they should cover the spread as long as they hit their shots.
