San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards

San Antonio’s core of Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell comes in on a multi-game winning streak and already handled this same Wizards group 119-94 three nights ago, while Washington snapped a long skid with last night’s 130-122 win in Memphis but now has to play the second half of a back-to-back with key rotation pieces Corey Kispert and Khris Middleton out and Alex Sarr still not fully healthy. Wembanyama has repeatedly shredded Washington in recent meetings, including 31 points and 15 boards in D.C. last season and another efficient all-around line in Thursday’s blowout, and the current Spurs roster is largely intact outside of minor depth injuries. With the Spurs’ size, form and matchup history all tilted their way, San Antonio on the moneyline at -1400 is extremely likely to cash but offers limited upside, so this is a safety-first play at a B- grade.

Washington’s young, up-tempo roster just erupted for 130 points in Memphis, but now they return home tired, still shorthanded on the wings, and facing a long, mobile Spurs defense that held them to 94 points and comfortably under this same 238 total in Thursday’s matchup. San Antonio’s recent surge has been driven as much by improved defense and Wembanyama’s rim protection as by scoring, and if they seize control early again, a blowout script likely means slower pace and extended run for bench units rather than a 48-minute track meet. Given the Wizards’ back-to-back fatigue, uncertain status for Sarr, and the Spurs’ ability to contest threes and dominate the glass, the Under 238 at -110 gets the nod with a solid but not elite B grade.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs already covered this kind of massive number at home by winning 119-94, and they now get a Wizards team that is both thin up front and coming off a taxing road upset, with Kispert and Middleton sidelined and Sarr’s status still iffy against a front line that also features Fox-driven pace and shooting from Castle, Vassell and Harrison Barnes. Washington can score in bursts with CJ McCollum and emerging wing Kyshawn George, but they’ve consistently bled points on defense and have struggled to keep games within single digits when facing elite size and length like San Antonio’s. Laying -15.5 on the road is always volatile and leaves plenty of backdoor risk in garbage time, so while the matchup leans Spurs to win big again, the combination of high probability but uncomfortable margin makes Spurs -15.5 (-105) a C+ value play rather than a premium one.
