Key prop bet

A standout prop involves Collin Sexton and his perimeter shooting. The suggested wager is Sexton OVER 2.5 three-pointers at +115. Sexton has hit that mark in five of his last six games. He also recorded two games with five threes in that span.

Washington allows 13.6 made three-pointers per contest. They concede about 2.8 threes to opposing shooting guards. Those numbers support the Sexton over at plus odds.

Prediction and pick

Filmogaz.com expects an up-tempo affair with plenty of scoring. The Wizards have gone OVER in three straight games and in seven of their last nine. Washington recently produced back-to-back outings of 153 and 152 points allowed.

Given the trends and the offensive profiles, the pick is OVER 251.5 (-108). Both teams should push the pace and trade baskets in Washington.
