A win tonight for the Warriors will push Don Nelson past Lenny Wilkens on the all-time win list. Don't expect the Washington Wizards to put up much of a fight.
The Verizon Center will be the site of tonight’s matchup between the Washington Wizards and the visiting Golden State Warriors. Tip-off is set for 7:05 p.m. (ET).
The Wizards were able to halt a nine-game home losing skid with a win over the hapless New Jersey Nets on Sunday. Tonight is a good night to start a new streak against a Warriors club that has cashed 10 of its last 14 against the number.

Golden State is riding a two-game win streak and with a win tonight the Warriors could move their head coach into a tie with Lenny Wilkens on the all-time win list.
The final weeks of the regular season wind down and Washington has long since tossed in the proverbial towel.
A check of the database reveals two league-wide systems that are active for tonight’s contest. First we want to play on NBA road favorites with one day of rest off a straight up road win as an underdog of five or more points versus a team off a srtaight up. These teams are 15-3 ATS in the last 18.
Secondly, play on NBA road favorites off a road underdog win where they were plus five or more points facing a team off a SU/ATS win of less than 10 points with a total of 180 or more. Tonight's total is a whopping 219. These teams are 17-9 ATS the last 26.
Lay the short price with the visitors as the Warriors grab the SU and ATS victory at Verizon Center on Tuesday.
