The Washington Wizards play the Brooklyn Nets at 6 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Washington in New York City. Let’s get to some last-minute loose ends.
The odds*
According to DraftKings, the Wizards have even odds against the Nets. The over-under for total scoring is 223.5 points, which means that both teams will score a total of at least that amount.
Why would Washington have a 50/50 shot against the bally-hooed Nets, whose owner also won the Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart AND Courtney Vandersloot sweepstakes? Pretty simple: Kevin Durant’s injury AND the reports of Kyrie Irving requesting a trade.
