Best Bets for this Game

Insiders Status:

Neither one of these teams are what you would call offensive powerhouses, as they rank in the bottom third in points per game. But with some of the top scorers on both teams listed as questionable, they will even have less firepower. The Spurs have gone really cold, hitting the under in each of its last three and scoring less than 100 points in each of their last two games. The Wizards tend to play at a slower pace, and they are the better defensive team of the two, so they should be able to keep the Spurs scoring woes going. Take the under here.
