*8* play on the Washington Wizards.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to make amends for an embarrassing 114-89 loss at Philadelphia two days ago as they travel to Washington to take on the Wizards Monday afternoon. A win won't come easy though as the Wiz will be eager to rebound from a loss of their own, a 119-117 defeat against Boston. I like the home-team in this match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Return Of Bradley Beal - The Wizards are just two and a half game back of a playoff spot in the East despite playing a considerable amount of games without shooting guard Bradley Beal. Beal sat out the second night of a back-to-back in Saturday's loss against the Celtics after scoring 22 points in 22 minutes in a 118-104 win against Indiana the day before, and the 22 year old is ready to go again today.

2. Home Cookin' - The Wizards defeated the Trail Blazers 105-97 on March 16 in the last meeting at Verizon Center where they're 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

3. X-Factor - Portland's Damian Lillard scored just 14 points in 30 minutes against Philly and he has averaged a by his standards lowly 19.7 points on 32.8% shooting in the last three visits to Washington.

Selection: This is a play on the Washington Wizards (8*)
