Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Prediction: Win for More Ambitious and Stable

Prediction for the NBA Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks match will take place on February 25th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Before the break in the championship, Washington had a great period, winning four in five matches. Wes Unseld's team lost only to Golden State at this stage but beat Charlotte, Indiana, Minnesota, and Portland and returned to the race for the playoffs. However, it was already clear that Washington was a team at the level of the top ten of the East. It was only unclear why the team did not reveal its potential. Although there is still no certainty that the Wizards will continue to win just as steadily.

The Knicks also went into a break in the championship in a great mood, having won three consecutive victories and five games out of the last six. Unlike Washington, Tom Thibodeau's team is not fighting to get into the playoffs through the play-in but direct entry into the post-season for the top six. And while New Yorkers are winning this fight, being, in fact, in sixth place, 0.5 handicap wins from Miami.

The main strength of the Knicks is the quality of defense. At the trade deadline, the team got one of the best defensive forwards in the league, Josh Hart, so the defense of New York should become even stronger.

New York is one of the best defenses this season. Washington is one of the most progressive teams in terms of defense. So betting on low performance here is the correct choice. In addition, in the statistics of the full-time matches of the Knicks and Wizards, only one top match out of five was played in this and the previous championships. As for the outcome, we bet on the victory of New York. Tom Thibodeau's team is more ambitious and stable than its rival. However, this is a more risky option than the total.
