Two Eastern Conference teams face off on Saturday in the NBA as 0-1 Washington hosts 2-0 Cleveland at Capital One Arena. If you’re looking to bet on this match between the Wizards and the Cavaliers, then you’ll want to read the prediction we’ve prepared!
Washington still seeks their first win of the 2024/25 season after falling to a 122-102 home defeat to defending champions Boston on Thursday. The Wizards were ice-cold from deep in that game, shooting below 20% with just seven makes from 32 attempts.
The hosts have seemingly been in a perpetual rebuild for nearly a decade as you’d have to go back seven years since their last winning season. They hit bottom last year as they won just 15 games, marking the worst ever campaign for the franchise.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Cleveland. With three straight winning seasons now under their belt, the Cavs will hope to take the next step this season and make the Conference Finals.
They’re off to a good start with two wins from their first two games. They cruised to a 30-point blowout win over Toronto to open the year before securing a 113-101 home victory over Detroit last night. This will be their first back-to-back of the season.

Our Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Washington haven't stood much of a chance against Cleveland in recent seasons. With the way the visitors have started the year, it's looking like the trend will continue on Saturday. Washington are still rebuilding and are simply outclassed by their opponents here.
Despite playing on no rest, the Cavaliers shouldn't be too fatigued considering it's the first back-to-back of the season. We like them to claim another comfortable victory and extend their record to 3-0. Our Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction: Cavaliers -7.5 point spread.
