They were able to put up 129 points on the back of a 66-point second half. Chris Paul is still out, but there is a chance he returns to the court in this game.

Why The Warriors Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Warriors have a great chance to put up some points in this game. They are averaging the sixth-most points per game at 119.2 points. The Wizards are allowing the most points per game at 124.2 points. Washington does not play good defense, and the Warriors should be able to take advantage of that. If the Warriors can have a good offensive game, they will be able to cover the spread.
When the Warriors score 120 points or more this season, they have a record of 19-9. Golden State should be able to easily put up 120 points in this game. When the Wizards allow that many points, they are 1-34. If the Warriors score 120, which they should, they are going to win this game with ease.
Why The Wizards Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Wizards have not been playing well. However, they do have a chance to cover this spread. Washington, on the season, scores 114.4 points per game while the Warriors allow 117.4 points per game. Golden State does not play great on the defensive end, and the Wizards need to take advantage of that. If Washington can put up points on a struggling road team, they will be able to cover this spread.
Final Warriors-Wizards Prediction & Pick
The Wizards are not playing well at the moment, and they have been struggling all season. Washington has yet to win double-digit games, and I will not be betting on them because of this. The Warriors have finally started playing well, and they are making their way into a playoff spot. I think the Warriors are going to have a big offensive game, and they should cover the spread because of this, no matter how large.
