While both teams are hot, Randy Wittman’s Wizards just overpower the Knicks, at least on paper.
The Wiz Kids should be able to man the fort in the post while Wall should be able to expose Larkin. Anthony, Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith are always threats to put up points, but without winning the rebounding turnover margins, it may be a long night for New York.
Washington Wizards 94, New York Knicks 84
