Obi Toppin scored 19 points while RJ Barrett and Alec Burks scored a combined total of 47 points on Wednesday. The Knicks will be competitive if they can replicate their previous performance, specifically the dynamism and agility they showed in that first half.
Porzingis Looking to Spark Wizards
The Washington Wizards find themselves in a similar situation to the Knicks in that they are out of postseason contention. Kristaps Porzingis carried the weight of the Wizards’ offense against the Hawks, finishing with 26 points and 18 rebounds.
If he is able to exact vengeance on his old team, he will be able to assist the Wizards in their victory. Because he is one of just five NBA players who has appeared in every game this season, look for Deni Avdija, the second-year player, to make the starting lineup on Friday.

Knicks vs Wizards Prediction
The Knicks are still far from a dominant team. However, the Wizards have been slightly worse of late with no single player performing at world-class standards.
Washington also looks lost tactically, with no real direction or purpose. While the Knicks are far from their best, they can be expected to come out on top in this fixture. You can also expect the Knicks to cover the -3½ spread as offered by BetUS, and we believe it to be the best value pick for this fixture.
PICK: New York Knicks -3½
