Date: Friday, April 9, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: Chase Center — San Francisco, Calif.
Coverage: NBA TV
There are two bad teams playing each other tonight. Washington has lost four of their last five games. However, Bradley Beal returned last game and brought a win along with him. He scored 26 points on 57.9% shooting in his return. Awesemo is projecting him to score even more than this tonight, leading his team. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook has finished with a triple-double in six of his past seven games. Awesemo is projecting another Westbrook triple-double tonight. Whether the triple-double will assist the team in winning is the larger question.
Meanwhile, the Warriors go about as far as Stephen Curry is able to carry them. He has averaged 36.5 points over his past four games, and Awesemo is projecting him to be the game’s highest scorer. As bad as the Warriors have been this season. the recipe for success has been playing at home with Curry active. When this is the case, as it is tonight, the Warriors have won 10 of their last 13 games. The sportsbooks have recognized this and made them the favorite. This is rare, as Golden State has been favored at home just 11 times this season. They have an 8-3 record against the spread as a home favorite.

Wizards vs. Warriors Prediction
I am sticking true to these trends. The Warriors are 8-3 against the spread as a home favorite and 14-10 against the spread at home overall. With Beal possibly not being 100% yet, this puts more pressure on Westbrook, which usually does not mean great things for his team’s overall success. The Warriors should also be able to win the paint, which is typically a rare thing for them.
Prediction: Warriors -4.5
