This feels like a spot where well-rested Washington might win outright, but I've thought that before and it was Globetrotters 104, Wizards/Generals 46 at the half. Second of a B2B for the Bucks without Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis (him for a long while) -- and with Giannis likely still on a bit of a minutes restriction. It's also the Khris Middleton Revenge Game as the former Bucks All-Star makes his Wizards debut vs. his former team. Ex-Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart also will make his Wizards debut.

Caesar’s. In his sophomore season, Bilal Coulibaly has shown flashes of why the Wizards made him a top pick in the 2023 draft. However, averaging 21 PRA this season, I do see this line as a touch high for the Wizards wing. Coulibaly has failed to clear this line in 29/44 games he’s played with Jordan Poole. And even with Kyle Kuzma shipped out to Milwaukee (the Wizards opponent tonight), newcomers Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart are available to play for Washington. Coming off a prolonged break, with two new higher usage players likely in the rotation, I’m happy to fade Coulibaly on a line he hasn’t regularly been able to exceed.
