Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers Preview
The big thing with the Wizards is that they have moved into rebuilding mode and are just leaning into the youth movement. So, Carrington has been getting a ton of run.
He is generally playing with a minutes floor in the mid-twenties, and sometimes we are seeing random games where he spikes to the upper-thirties. There's a lot of tail-end opportunities here for Bub.
Carrington has gone over this line in nine of his last 10 games. He's been playing really well as of late.
There are obviously a number of players that are kind of in-and-out of the rotation for Washington, but Carrington's points prop is low enough to attack here, and he's not somebody they will pull out of the rotation if they are losing big.
Carrington is a player the Wizards are going to let run regardless of the score.
Washington is looking to stay in the bottom-four so they can have a guaranteed top-eight protected pick, or else it goes to the Knicks.
Carrington is a nice young player who is developing, and that's the type of player that we are looking to target in Washington right now.
Wizards vs Cavaliers Picks, Betting Predictions
While I think there is a little bit of risk that some of the Wizards' better players get more minutes in this spot, given they are playing against the Cavaliers, I think that Carrington should still see a decent amount of run here.
Washington has a number of players listed as questionable.
We'll see if Kyshawn George or Bilal Coulibaly play tonight. However, if they don't play, that opens up a little bit more usage for Carrington.
However, if George and Coulibaly do play, it won't necessarily impact Carrington's output.
So, I like Bub to go over 10.5 points in tonight's matchup against the Cavaliers.
