Washington at San Antonio Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Wizards are still battling it out for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference standings at 40-30 straight-up on the year. They have strung together four wins in their last six games, but their record against the spread over their last eight outings is a costly 2-5-1. The total went OVER 210.5 points in Saturday's 109-102 victory against Indiana as 4.5-point home favorites, and it has gone OVER in their last four games. Washington is 6-2 SU in its last eight road games.
</p>
<p>
John Wall remains on the shelf until later this month recovering from knee surgery, so Bradley Beal continues to fill the void as the team’s leading scorer. He is averaging 23.3 points per game this season, but he has failed to reach that number in four of his last five starts. He scored 19 points with six assists against Indiana. The Wizards are 11th in the NBA in scoring with an average of 107.5 PPG, and they have been able to eclipse that average in their last six games.

San Antonio suffered through an extended slide from mid-February through mid-March with a straight-up 2-9 record in 11 games. Seven of those losses were on the road. Amid a much-needed six-game homestand, it has won the first four games both SU and ATS. Monday's 89-75 victory against Golden State stayed well UNDER the closing 201-point line, and it has remained UNDER in seven of the Spurs last eight games.

Defense has been the name of the game for San Antonio. It caught a break on Monday night with the Warriors’ top three scorers out of the lineup, but it also held New Orleans to 93 points and Minnesota to 101 points during this current winning streak. The Spurs remain the top team in the NBA in points allowed (99.0). LaMarcus Aldridge led the way at the other end of the court on Monday night with 33 points after putting up 39 points in the win against the Timberwolves. He is averaging a team-high 22.7 PPG.

Washington at San Antonio Prediction 03/21/2018
I went with the Spurs both SU and ATS in Monday's game against Golden State as my ‘best bet' pick. San Antonio is a team that starting to find its form at the right time of the year. The Spurs have also returned to playing shutdown defense which tends to keep the scoring low on both sides of the scoreboard. The lean for Wednesday’s game is towards the Spurs, but the ‘best bet’ pick is the UNDER on the 204.5-point total line.
