Our four-day winning streak came to a brutal end Tuesday night when the Sacramento Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors by one as 1.5-point favorites. It sucks to lose by the hook, but we didn't exactly deserve the cover considering the Kings were down by 15 late in the third quarter and made a furious comeback in the final minutes.
Let's gun for a bounceback winner with our favorite NBA player prop for Wednesday night's slate.
Goga Bitadze hasn't lit up the stat sheet as the Orlando Magic's new starting center. Since joining the starting lineup earlier this month, Bitadze is averaging just 8.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, but this is a perfect matchup for him to leap past those numbers on Wednesday night.
The Washington Wizards have been putrid at defending the center position all season. Washington is allowing the most points and rebounds per game to opposing centers in the NBA, so Bitadze should be able to have a field day against Daniel Gafford.
This should also be an up-and-down game considering the Wizards play at the second-fastest pace in the league. The total for Wednesday night's game is sitting at 234, which is the highest total on the slate. Faster pace means more shots, more rebound chances and more opportunities for Bitadze to stuff the stat sheet.
