The Wizards aren't going to have John Wall back yet, but they still are good enough to beat the Nets. Washington will have the three best players on the court in Bradley Beal, Otto Porter and Marcin Gortat.

Not only is this Brooklyn's first game back after playing a pair of games in Mexico City, but its underrated chemistry has changed. The Nets will be breaking in newcomers Jahlil Okafor and Nik Stauskas and are without Sean Kilpatrick and Trevor Booker. Kilpatrick and Booker aren't great players, but they fit in well with the Nets and were popular teammates. There's going to be an adjustment period as the Nets learn how to best utlize Okafor, a talented big man who failed to mesh with the 76ers.

Beal has stepped up well in Wall's eight-game absence averaging 23.3 points. The Wizards should be in angry mood after getting nipped, 113-112, by the Clippers on the road Saturday when Beal's game-winning basket was disallowed.

Despite that non-cover, the Wizards still are 9-4 ATS during their past 13 away matchups. They have owned the Nets winning 12 of the past 14 meetings, including the last seven.
