NBA Picks Today: Wednesday, Nov. 8
Pick: Wizards Spread (+2.5,-115)
Washington has stumbled out to a slow start, but they've faced a brutal schedule.'
The Wizards own the second-worst adjusted net rating through six games, but they've faced the second-hardest strength of schedule, per dunksandthrees.com.'
The Hornets, meanwhile, are justifiably bad and haven't played quality opposition.'
Entering Wednesday's game, Charlotte is 25th in adjusted net rating, having faced the eighth-easiest strength of schedule.'
Washington also matches a historically profitable betting system.'
Road underdogs (+6 or shorter) off an ATS loss as a dog against teams off an ATS win are 57.2% ATS since 2004-05.'
Given the sharp movement on Washington – they opened at +4 – I'll take the Wizards to cover.
