💰 Wizards win total prediction

Here's why our NBA expert Corey Scott expects the Wizards to finish Over 20.5 wins as one of his NBA win total predictions for the 2025-26 season:

⬆️ Over 20.5 wins

While the Wizards’ win total is in the same ballpark as Utah’s, there’s a lot more to be optimistic about in the nation’s capital. Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington showed progress over the course of last season and should only continue to improve, and CJ McCollum will provide a veteran scoring presence when Washington’s young core struggles with consistency. This team won’t make the play-in tournament, but it should win more than 20 games.

✅ Prediction: Over 20.5 wins (-105 via bet365)


🔮 Best Wizards futures bet

Here's why our NBA expert Liam Fox is betting on the Wizards to get the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft as one of his best NBA futures bets for the 2025-26 season:

🎲 Wizards to get No. 1 pick in NBA draft

The NBA having a draft lottery makes any bet on who gets the first pick a bit of a crapshoot, but Washington has the league's worst roster with little upside for this season. At least this wager will keep you invested all the way through the NBA calendar in 2026.

✅ Best bet: Wizards to get No. 1 pick in NBA draft (+550 via FanDuel)
