Washington Wizards vs. New York Knicks Game Predictions

The Washington Wizards (2-9) host the New York Knicks (6-5) for an in-season group play game at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. Tip-off is at 7:00 PM EST.

Looking to avoid their fourth straight loss, the Wizards have another tough task with the Knicks coming to town.

Opinion: Washington Wizards Need to be Playing Johnny Davis

This is Washington's third in-season group play game.

So far, they're 0-2 and are practically eliminated from advancing to the next round.

Let's see how the Inside the Wizards staff views this game.

Gage Sheets: Knicks 107 Wizards 95 (Prediction Record: 6-2)

One of these teams play defense and the other doesn't.

New York is only allowing 105.2 points per game which is best in the NBA while Washington allows 123.2 points per game.

Another gaping hole in this Wizards team is they're the worst rebounding team in the NBA.

The Knicks however are third and averaging 47.2 rebounds per game.

Defense and rebounding are consistent, and I expect that to hold.

New York won't have much to stress about tonight.

Darrell Owens: Knicks 122 Wizards 109 (Prediction Record: 4-1)

The Washington Wizards (2-9) are facing the New York Knicks (6-5) in their second game of a three-game home stand. This game will be the first of four matchups between New York and Washington this season. The Wizards lost Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks 130-117. The Wizards are currently in a four-game losing streak.

Unfortunately, I think the losing streak will continue tonight. The only thing I think will help the Wizards is that the Knicks may not have RJ Barrett or Quentin Grimes. If that’s the case the Wizards stars Kyle Kuzma & Jordan Poole must step up. Also, I would like to see the rookie Bilal Coulibaly get more minutes for this team.
