Season: 5-4
Monday: Washington +3
I think Washington has some advantage here. Orlando certainly has a lot of talent and is making moves to improve but it's not "magical" yet. They've had a rough schedule to start and this is a b2b game for them and they've only had one day off since opening day. The Wizards have had their game spread out. But Orlando's early losses to Philadelphia and Atlanta as favorites leads me to think they aren't there yet, in fact I find both losses a little surprising. Washington has a more stable roster returning and have improved themselves in the frontcourt, their main weakness, and employ perhaps the best guard play in the league. The Zards have a lot to throw at these guys tonight and good bench. I expect a win tonight so I'll take the points as well.
