Why the Spurs can cover
The miles are starting to pile up for Washington, which is on the road for the fourth consecutive game. The Wizards have been without big man Kristaps Porzingis for three straight games due to a sprained left ankle, and he could be slowed down by that issue on Monday night. San Antonio put up a strong fight against Phoenix on Saturday, as it rallied from an 11-point deficit entering the fourth quarter.
Keldon Johnson had a three-point play with 47.8 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime, but the Spurs came up short in the extra period. Johnson led the Spurs with a team-high 34 points, while Jeremy Sochan scored a career-high 30 points. San Antonio has covered the spread in seven of the last eight meetings between these teams, and it has covered the spread in four of the last five matchups.
Why the Wizards can cover
Washington is playing its best basketball of the season, riding a five-game winning streak coming into this game. The Wizards notched a 113-103 win against New Orleans on Saturday, as Daniel Gafford led the way with a season-high 21 points. They were outstanding on the glass, out-rebounding the Pelicans 53-42 and grabbing 13 offensive rebounds.
San Antonio has lost 10 of its last 11 games and is going to have trouble recovering emotionally from its overtime loss to Phoenix. The Spurs are just two games ahead of Houston at the bottom of the Western Conference standings and have only covered the spread once in their last five games.
