NBA FREE PICK: Take the Washington Wizards. According to the latest NBA trends, Wizards are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss and are 6-2 against the spread in the last 8 meetings in New Jersey. Nets are 20-48-1 against the spread in their last 69 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, 3-9 against the spread in their last 12 games playing on 1 days rest, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, 7-22 against the spread in their last 29 home games and are 2-7 against the spread in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference and are 2-11 against the spread in their last 13 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Why go with a 10-win team? The Wizards have covered 3 of their last 4 and Nene, recently acquired from Denver, will play in his first game. The Nets have all but given up. In their last two home games, they were slight favorites and lost outright to Cleveland and New Orleans (a 10-win team at the time). The Wizards have played competitive basketball since the traded away guard Nick Young and Javale McGee. Nene and Kevin Seraphin should have their way up front against the center-less Nets.
