The Wizards are the poor man’s Pacers and really poor man’s Bucks. They don’t guard, they play at fast pace and this is perfect for Siakam. Played this in their last meeting at it cashed around halftime. Won’t be that easy tonight but I think he might get 30. And he ALWAYS plays his 35 min.
It has taken Tyus Jones some time to get adjusted to his new team. Playing alongside two high-usage players in Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma left him with some underwhelming numbers to begin the season. However, he has settled into things nicely, posting at least 20 combined points and assists in each of his last six games. With the Wizards playing at the fastest pace in the league, expect Jones to receive enough opportunities to reach this over.
Pascal Siakam is only averaging 21.3 points per game this season, so this line might seem high. However, he has scored at least 25 points in five of his last nine games. This is a great matchup against the Wizards, who have played at the fastest pace and have the worst defensive rating in the league. They also have very little size up front. When Siakam faced them earlier this season, he scored 39 points while attempting 23 shots and 14 free-throws. Expect him to be aggressive again and hit the over.
