Every now and again, a team is going to have an off day. The Golden State Warriors had theirs against Philadelphia a couple nights ago and needed to escape from one of the worst teams in the NBA on a last second shot. However, if you disregard that result, all the Dubs have done since losing to Detroit on January 16 is go 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS, outscoring teams by an average of 24.7 points per game.
Be afraid, Washington Wizards. Be very afraid.

SCHEDULING
Does scheduling really matter for the Dubs? They've seemingly whooped up on every team they've played against in recent weeks, and playing on the road on a Wednesday when their last game was played on Sunday is going to leave them fresh as daisies. If there's a mild concern with live bettors, it's that this is the end of an East Coast road trip.
However, the team is 3-0 SU and ATS on the final game of multi-game roadies since losing to Milwaukee on December 12.
The Wizards are playing against Oklahoma City on Monday night on the road before coming back to play against the best team in the NBA at home, which theoretically shouldn't present any issues.
KEY MATCHUP
The Wizards rank dead last in the league in opposing three-point shooting percentage at 38.8 percent.
Do we really need to state what the key matchup is here?
The Warriors average almost 13 triples per game, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are good for eight of them. Golden State had another ho hum 16 threes against the Knicks on Sunday as a part of a 116-95 romp, and oh by the way, it scored just 18 points in the first quarter followed by 98 in the final three.
As an example of how live betting on Golden State games can get out of hand in a hurry, New York was up 27-20 at home with 9:25 left in the second quarter. Not four minutes later, it was 40-33, and it was 89-67 a minute and a half into the fourth quarter. That's a 79-40 run over under two quarters of basketball.
It's all because of the three ball. If the Wizards are letting your Average Joe team shoot nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc, one can only imagine how bad this could get against one of the best three-point shooting duos in NBA history.
KEY STATS & TRENDS
It's also really not good news for the Wizards that they've allowed at least 100 points nine times in their last 10 games, including giving up at least 116 four times in that stretch. It'd be tough for live bettors to forget about all those stats, knowing that the massive run is coming. It comes in basically every Golden State game, especially of late, and if you time it right, you can get a monster price on a monster team.
Again, take away that outlier game against Philadelphia, and the Dubs have averaged 31.8 points per game in the fourth quarter since the Detroit loss, and none of those games were even remotely competitive at the time.
Golden State truly is a live bettors' dream, and against this Washington defense, it's going to be awfully hard to bet against them.
