Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Prediction: The quality of these teams is too different

Prediction for the Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks match will occur on December 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Washington Wizards

The Wizards and Knicks meet for the second time in three days. Last night's meeting in Washington was an unexpectedly competitive affair. Brian Keefe's team scored 119 points in regulation to earn the right to go into overtime but lost 132:136 (119:119) in the extra five minutes. His asset Justin Champaign recorded 31 points and 10 rebounds in the Wizards, 22 points, and 7 assists for Malcolm Brogdon.

Remember that Washington has been at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings almost from the start of the regular season. The team from the nation's capital has a record of 5:24. The Wizards are also bottom of the Defensive Efficiency Rating, allowing an average of 122.3 points per game.

New York Knicks

If the Wizards are the underdogs, the Knicks are one of the leaders of the current season. Tom Thibodeau's side have made some quality additions in the off-season and are almost the only team in the East capable of stopping Boston on a four-game winning streak. So far, New York has won 22 of 32 games, is sixth in scoring with an average of 117.6 points per game, and eighth in defense with a goals-against average of 110.0.

The win over Washington two nights ago was New York's seventh in a row. In that time, the Knickerbockers have beaten the likes of Orlando (twice) and Minnesota (133:107 away).

Expert Betting Tips

The day before yesterday, Washington earned the right to play New York in overtime, but the quality of these teams is too different for the Wizards to offer the Knicks much resistance. We are backing New York to win this one, and we also believe that it will be effective, like the first two meetings between the two teams this season.
