Washington Wizards at Golden State Warriors Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The two teams enter on contrasting notes. For Golden State, the Warriors have now won ten games in a row and continue to assert their will on the league. Golden State owns the best scoring offense in the NBA along with the most efficient field goal percentage across the land. They also play dominant defense and are among the best in limiting opponent shooting proficiency. This is bad news for the Wizards who enter off a two-game skid and rely heavily on their fifth-ranked scoring offense to catapult them to victory.

Washington Wizards at Golden State Warriors Prediction
From the metrics alone the Warriors should simply ransack the Wizards. However, the number is like super-inflated by virtue of the fact this game is at the Oracle Arena where once against the Warriors seem unbeatable. However, the Wizards feature a dynamic duo of point guards that can well keep this contest within range. John Wall and Bradley Beal are two of the best in league when all cylinders are firing. Wall has been a machine, averaging 23.3 points per game while also racking up 10.7 assists per game. Nevertheless, Wizards have struggled mightily and this ultimately has adversely affected their playoff seeding and continued losses can result in them losing home court in the first round. This narrative should be enough for Washington to come in with fire. Nevertheless the lumber here is a lot to ask as Golden State could get out to a huge lead and sit their starters to keep them fit for playoff duty. Washington will not be doing so as wins are of the essence for the Wizards while the Warriors’ are just padding stats. Take the points.

Take Washington +10
