The Wizards have won 8 of their last 11 games and tonight visit the wounded Warriors. No Steph Curry has resulted in the home team losing its last two games.

Thus, I could certainly understand the urge to take the points in this Monday night NBA matchup. But I think the Under is the better call.

This isn’t the same Warriors team without Curry. They were just 12 of 44 from deep in a 109-103 loss to the Lakers Saturday night. That was here at home.

Last month saw these teams combine for 245 points, but 41 of those came from Curry.

With the former MVP on the sidelines, the total for this game should be way lower. It was 235 with Curry in the lineup last month. His absence is certainly felt in the spread, but there’s definite value playing the Under. 10*
