Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/18/24

The Washington Wizards’ early-season woes continued as they lost their 8th straight game on Sunday. Despite looking competitive early, Detroit pulled away to win 124-104, which saw the Wizards’ record drop to 2-10 on the season. Defensive frailties were on show once again for Washington, and of their 10 losses, 5 have now come by a margin of 20+ points, which goes some way to explaining their league-worst team opponent points per game at 124.

The New York Knicks come into this contest after notching a couple of recent wins over the Brooklyn Nets, the first of which was without Karl-Anthony Towns, who returned on Sunday to drop 26 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists in just 30 minutes. While the Wizards may not be able to slow down the KAT-led Knicks offense enough to end their winless run, they have at least been able to score consistently at the other end of the court over their last 3 games. Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole have averaged 18 and 28 points respectively over that stretch and with similar showings, and against New York there may be plenty of points at both ends of the court on Monday night.
