There is a natural angle to consider for the Wizards on the "totals" side in every one of their games; they can't score a lot of points. One of the least-efficient offenses in the league often struggles to clear 100 points. And, as it relates to the "total" at Smoothie King, games for the Wiz have only topped 234 points twice across the past twelve, with a corresponding 10-2 "under" number during that span. Meanwhile the Pels are enjoying playing at a bit slower pace, winning back-to-back games where both teams scored beneath 100 (a rarity these days in the NBA), and NO is also on a 6-2 "under" run into tonight. Play Wiz-Pels "Under"

In three games without Daniel Gafford the Wiz have allowed 49, 49 (to Philly without Embid) and 56 rebounds to opponents. They are a horrible defensive team and exerted a lot of energy at Dallas Monday night. Peep the recent box scores - even point guards are grabbing 7+ rebounds lately and is averaging just under 5.5/G since Jan. 1. He's over this in 3 of his last 5 home games and the Pels brutal schedule has skewed the numbers but I see him easily going over his season rebound avg against this outfit.
