Washington Wizards vs San Antonio Spurs prediction

I'm not sure how I feel about laying more than a bucket with the San Antonio Spurs, but I guess this just goes to show how little faith everybody has in the Wizards. The Spurs are coming off a pair of wins, and they did beat the Wizards on the road a little over a week ago. The Spurs compete most nights and are slowly gaining confidence. The Washington Wizards are a funky team that picks and chooses when to give an honest effort. It's Spurs or pass, but there's probably better options out there on a stacked Monday card.
