The Washington Wizards have won only two of their last eight games, failing to cover the spread in each loss. Last time out they took a 122-95 loss at Miami, and I don't have the Wizards pegged as a team that bounces back from awful outings right away. The Hornets have been competitive lately despite taking a 138-121 loss to Utah last time out. They are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a double-digit loss at home and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog.

8* play on Charlotte Hornets.
