San Antonio Spurs @ Washington Wizards - February 10, 2025

Alright, folks! It’s game day, and I can feel the excitement buzzing through the air as my beloved San Antonio Spurs gear up to take on the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena. You know I’ll be rocking my lucky jersey because when it comes to game days, superstitions are real!

Now, let’s break down what we can expect from this matchup. The Spurs come into this game with a record of 22-28 and have been struggling lately, losing four out of their last five games. However, they did manage to cover the spread in their last outing against the Magic, which gives me a glimmer of hope. They’ve been scoring an average of about 112.8 points per game with a solid shooting percentage of nearly 46%. Their ability to dish out assists (almost 29 per game) shows that they’re capable of moving the ball well and creating opportunities.

On the other hand, we have the Wizards who are sitting at a dismal 9-43 record. Ouch! They just lost to the Hawks by a significant margin and have only managed to win three games in their last 21 attempts. Their offensive stats aren’t pretty either; averaging just under 108 points per game while shooting around 44% from the field isn’t going to cut it against a team like San Antonio.

Defensively, both teams have their struggles but here’s where I think San Antonio has an edge. The Spurs grab more rebounds (about 45 per game) compared to Washington’s roughly 44 rebounds. Plus, they commit fewer fouls on average which could play a crucial role in keeping key players on the floor for longer stretches.

Now let’s talk numbers: Oddsmakers opened with San Antonio as -11-point favorites against Washington. Given how poorly Washington has performed this season—especially at home—I’m inclined to believe that San Antonio will not only win but also cover that spread tonight.

As for total points? Well, both teams have shown tendencies towards high-scoring games recently; however, given Washington’s struggles offensively and San Antonio’s defensive capabilities (even if they haven’t been stellar), I’m leaning towards an UNDER outcome for this one.

So here’s my prediction: The Spurs will beat the Wizards tonight convincingly and cover that spread without breaking much of a sweat. Expect a final score somewhere around 110-95 in favor of San Antonio with total points landing under that line set at 236.5.

Let’s go Spurs! Time to show those Wizards what real basketball looks like!
