What to Know

The Washington Wizards are on the road again Sunday and play against the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET Jan. 1 at Fiserv Forum. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

This past Friday, Washington wrapped up 2022 with a 119-100 win over the Orlando Magic. It was another big night for the Wizards' center Kristaps Porzingis, who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 13 boards along with four blocks.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-114 this past Friday. Milwaukee's power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo did his thing and posted a double-double on 43 points and 20 rebounds in addition to five dimes.

Washington is expected to lose this next one by 8.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

Washington ended up a good deal behind the Bucks when they played when the two teams previously met in March of last year, losing 114-102. Can the Wizards avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
