Wizards at Knicks 2/14/18 - NBA Picks & Predictions

Washington leads the Southeast Division and is fourth in the Eastern Conference as it closes the first half of the season against the Knicks in New York Wednesday. The Wizards beat the Knicks by 18 in Washington earlier this season.

Washington is one of only five teams in the league to have an over .500 road record, at 15-14. Washington is 32-24 overall. The Knicks are 23-25 overall and are 16-11 at home.

The Wizards won their last game after having lost two straight. Still, the Wizards are 6-2 over the last eight games. The Knicks have lost their last eight games, and are 2-11 over the last 13.

Part of the reason for the Knicks struggles is the loss of Kristaps Porzingis. But Tim Hardaway Jr. was 0-8 from behind the arc in the team's last game. Enes Kanter, averaging 14.2 points and 11 rebounds, is listed as questionable for this game. Hardaway is now the teams leading scorer at 16.2 per game. The Wizards are led by Bradley Beal at 23.4 points per game. John Wall will be missing with an injury. Otto Porter is averaging 14.3 and three more are in double figures. Marcin Gortat leads the rebounding with eight per game, and he is averaging 8.5 points. The Wizards are shooting 50 percent overall and 35 from three-point land. Washington averages 9.9 three-pointers per game.

Tomas Satoransky, who has been playing more because of injuries, had a career-high 25 in his last game. He was injured late though, and may not play against the Knicks.
