Portland Trail Blazers vs Washington Wizards betting props

Anfernee Simons’ points total is set at 23.5. He has crossed that mark in two straight games and should be able to do so against the Wizards as well. Bet on the over.

Jordan Poole’s points total is set at 21.5. While this is slightly over his season average of 21.0 points per game, the oddsmakers favor him to go over. We expect the same.
