The Nets and Wizards will both finish up back-to-backs tonight heading into the All-Star Break. They played each other a week ago, with the Nets winning by one point.

Tonight, they are coming in on different levels. The Nets just pulled off one of the best comeback wins of the year, while the Wizards lost to the new-look Pacers. With important play-in seeding still on the line, which team will be able to take a step forward?

Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Wizards vs. Nets Prediction and Pick

The Wizards lost by one point the other night, but that was against the Kyrie Irving-led Nets. Tonight, they won't have to face him and will have a much better chance to get the win.

The Nets are on the second night of a back-to-back, which hasn't been good for them this season. Brooklyn is 2-7 SU on the second leg and is coming off a tough win last night. The Nets had to come back from 28 points last night against the New York Knicks, which could leave them drained for tonight's game.

Meanwhile, the Wizards are 4-3 on the second leg of back-to-backs, showing me they are being a little undervalued tonight.

Both teams haven't been great over the last 10 games, so I don't see why this game is leaning heavily towards the Nets' side.

Lean: Wizards ML (+140)
