Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards starting lineups

The Golden State Warriors have only one player on their injury report and it's not Chris Paul, who will likely make his return tonight. However, Paul won't be in the starting lineup since he was coming off the bench before he got injured. Golden State's five will likely consist of Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.

On the other hand, the Washington Wizards have five players on the injury report, including two starters – Bilal Coulibaly and Deni Avdija. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. will likely use a starting five of Tyus Jones, Jordan Poole, Johnny Davis, Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley III.

Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards betting tips

Steph Curry has an over/under of 27.5 points and is projected to score just 27.3 points. Curry has been on a slump in three of his last four games, so it might be safer to bet on him to go under.

Kyle Kuzma is projected to score 21.6 points, which is under his prop bet of 22.5 points. Kuzma has gone over in two of his last three games and with all the injuries in Washington, bet on him to go bonkers and score at least 23 points.

Jonathan Kuminga is favored to go under 17.5 points on Tuesday night. Kuminga got out of his funk against the Denver Nuggets, but it's still riskier to bet on him to go over against the Washington Wizards.
