The Wizards have momentum on their side after notching a 103-98 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama's team-high 27 points weren't enough to help the Spurs avoid an 85-80 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend.

Wizards vs Spurs Prediction & Pick

The Spurs might be the favorite in this matchup, but they'll be missing their best player. The team announced Monday that Wembanyama is officially shut down for the rest of the Summer League season. Considering that the 2023 first-overall pick paced his team in points (27), rebounds (12), and blocks (3) against the Blazers, his absence will be felt.

On the other side, the Wizards truly put together a solid team effort in their latest outing. They tallied decent shooting splits (.474/.333/.800) against the Celtics as seven Washington players finished with 10-plus points.

If the Wizards successfully share the workload evenly again, the Wembanyama-less Spurs will be in trouble. I'll take the team with more momentum by backing the Wizards to pull off the upset.

Final Score Prediction: Wizards: 98 | Spurs: 88

Wizards vs Spurs Best Bet

With an upset likely on the way, let's go with the Wizards at +3.5 on the spread as the best bet. I can't bring myself to trust the Spurs to cover considering that 1) they only scored 80 points in their latest loss and 2) won't have Wembanyama to lead the charge.

The Wizards seem to know how to get the most out of everyone in their lineup, which should help them cover as the underdog tonight.

Bet: Wizards +3.5 (-118)
