Bets We Like With A Wizards Win

Russell Westbrook Triple-Double (+200)

Russell Westbrook’s first season in Washington did not get off to a great start, but he’s starting to find his rhythm with the Wizards. Westbrook is still the king of triple-doubles and he’s in his bag lately, notching triple-doubles in three of his last seven games.

The Wizards won all three of those games and he managed to come within one rebound or assist away from a triple-double in the other four games.

Bets We Like Regardless Of Outcome

Over 238.5 Points (-110)

The Nuggets and Blazers went under on the total points in their last game, but Denver is still destroying overs this season. The Wizards are one of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA as well. This total is set to a ridiculously high number, but these two teams could end up flying by it.

After all, there are four players who could potentially go for 50 or more by themself. There is so much star power on the floor in Beal, Westbrook, Jokic, and Jamal Murray.
