The Washington Wizards have not started this season very well either straight up or against the online sports betting odds. They are off to a disappointing start at 1-4 and head coach Flip Saunders has already seen enough. He was very upset about Monday’s practice in which he saw a lack of effort. Washington is home on Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets and the Wizards are three-point underdogs in offshore sports betting NBA odds.
Rebounding & Turnovers
The Wizards are not losing because they don’t have any talent. They are losing because they are making mistakes and getting outworked. Both of those things are intolerable for a coach like Flip Saunders. He is sick of his team making stupid mistakes. The practice on Monday was a disgrace and Saunders walked off the court and told players to return for another practice later in the day. The Wizards are last in the league in rebounding (35.2) and defensive field goal percentage. They are near the bottom of the league in points scored and in points allowed. One player that knows his team need extra practice is Andray Blatche. He said two-a-days are no problem for him. He hates to lose.
Wizards Should Play Hard Now
The Wizards should play hard on Wednesday night and could be worth taking against the offshore sports betting NBA odds at the Sbg global sportsbook. Saunders is a well respected NBA head coach and if the players are not giving a full effort then he will have no problem benching them including top pick John Wall. Saunders said that only a few players were practicing as they should and Wall was not among the names mentioned.
Upcoming Schedule
If Saunders gets the right response from his team then the Wizards could have immediate success. The schedule is really favorable for the next few games. They host a Houston team on Wednesday that is in more disarray then they are. The Wizards then host Charlotte on Friday before a road game on Saturday at Chicago. Then Washington has a very winnable game next Tuesday at home against Toronto. If things are going to turn around for Washington against the online sports betting NBA odds then it should start on Wednesday night against the Rockets.
