Command Analysis

Golden State Warriors

Current form
The Warriors are in tenth place in the Western Conference, which is clearly an unacceptable result for a team of this level. The last games have become another confirmation of the team instability. Golden State managed to beat Minnesota by a minimum (116:115), but before that they suffered two defeats in a row.
Stephen Curry continues to be the team star. He scored 31 points against the Timberwolves, showing a high level of play. However, other key players such as Dennis Schroder and Andrew Wiggins have not been able to show consistent performance yet.
Playing at home is always a big advantage for the Warriors, and they will be looking to use that to end their losing streak and cement themselves as a top-10 team in the West.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The last seven head-to-head matches have ended in favor of the Warriors.
Probable line-up: Wiggins - Ayrton, Jackson-Davies - Curry, Schroeder.

Washington Wizards

Current form
The Wizards are in last place in the Eastern Conference. Brian Keefe team has lost eight games in a row, demonstrating weak play both in defense and in attack. In the last game against Phoenix, the capital club suffered another defeat (123:130).
Keyshawn George and Jordan Poole are trying to shine, but their efforts are clearly not enough to win. They combined for 42 points against the Suns, but the Wizards' defense was unable to cope, allowing 130 points.
The away game against Golden State will be another serious test for the team. Given the current form and personnel problems, the visitors' chances of success are minimal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Saddiq Bay will not play in the next match due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Wizards have only one road win since the start of the season.
Probable line-up: Koulibaly - Kuzma, Sarr - Poole, Carrington.

Only 2 of the last 5 head-to-head games have seen more than 58 points scored in the first quarter.
1.86Tip and bets
Golden State approaches the match as a clear favorite. Steve Kerr team, despite instability, continues to fight for a place in the playoffs, and the home arena gives them a significant advantage. Stephen Curry is in excellent shape, and the support of Dennis Schroder and Andrew Wiggins allows the Warriors to hope for a confident victory.
Washington is going through one of the worst seasons in its history. The team has not been able to win for eight games and looks frankly weak. In our opinion, the home team will confidently take advantage of their opponent problems and win.
Our prediction is a Golden State victory with a handicap of (-12) points for 1.74
Bet on total
Both teams are betting on attacking basketball. Golden State traditionally dominates on its court, and Washington, despite its problems, sometimes pleases spectators with an open game. We believe that the match will be productive and the total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total over 226.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
Stephen Curry is in the lineup, which already increases the offensive potential of the Warriors. Weak defense of Washington will not be able to contain the leaders of the hosts. We expect that Golden State will show its maximum in attack and break the individual total.
Prediction - Golden State individual total over 119.5 points for 1.76
