Taylor Buckley: OVER

Ryan Snellings: OVER. Washington missed out on Durant, but they did enough to be a better team. A good season out of Bradley Beal will do them wonders and last years late addition of Markieff Morris will be huge this season. I expect growth out of both Jr’s at small forward (Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre). Signing Ian Mahimi was also a great move and he alongside Marcin Gortat makes for a great tandem of centers.

Parker Fleming: UNDER. Honestly, a huge fan of John Wall and Bradley Beal, but I don’t like the pieces around them. Scott Brooks is a great coach, and John Wall is a top-flight talent in this league; however, I can’t buy the fact that they are a playoff team.

Ian Pierno: UNDER. Parker said he’s a fan of Wall and Beal, but I don’t think that means much considering they aren’t even fans of each other.

Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. The Wizards are similar to what I said about the Kings and making good decisions. I will believe in the Wizards when I see John Wall and Bradley Beal become more consistent and win big games for them.

Jacob Collins: OVER. I’m going to take a slight over here as well. A decent season from Wall and Beal move this squad right back into the playoff hunt.
