What the data says

The 2026-27 season is only 1 game old for the Washington Wizards, so this section reads 2025-26 until they reach 10. The table above has both seasons.

The Washington Wizards were one of the least-bet teams in the NBA in 2025-26: #28 of 30, with 41.5% of spread tickets on average and the public side in only 9 of 77 games.

Against the spread they went 32-45, and 1-8 as the public side. Their share of the money (41.4%) tracked their share of the tickets closely, so big and small bettors saw them the same way.

None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. See tonight's NBA splits →
