Amen Thompson has a very bright future in the NBA and looks like he may be an All-Star sooner than later. That being said, Thompson is a raw scorer and the majority of his offense comes on fast breaks, dunks, and out hustling the opposing team. Thompson doesn't possess a reliable jumper and while he does a lot of things very well on the court, he is a one dimensional scorer. The Rockets are also 13 point favorites which provides some significant blowout potential that could lead to fewer minutes.

The Wiz have played 16 games vs top 10 teams in the NBA. They are 5-11 ATS in those games with an average margin of defeat of 17.2 points. The Wizards have 26 losses; 21 by 12 or more points, 23 by 10 or more and 24 by 9 or more. Close losses are very rare. Losing by 20 here would be no surprise. Rockets recently slugged Hornets by 13 and Pelicans by 17 on the road. Have covered well on road this season.
