After winning six of seven games, the Wizards have faltered with consecutive losses. Minus Bradley Beal, the Wizards were expected to take a hit, but not in the blowout fashion they did in a 127-110 loss against the Thunder. At home Monday, expect the Wizards to bounce back against a Pelicans team with losses in four of their last five. Take the Wizards.

Still no Bradley Beal for Washington but also no Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson for the Pelicans, so I think the Wiz can win close at home. New Orleans is 1-6 ATS in its past seven on the road while Washington is 5-1 ATS in its past six vs. a team with a winning record. The Pelicans have lost nine straight in DC. That means New Orleans hasn't won there since changing its nickname to Pelicans. Hey, gotta have something to change the channel to during TCU-Georgia. Do they still make picture-in-picture or did that go out with phone booths?
