Washington (3-16) is one-half game ahead of NBA-worst Charlotte (3-17), thanks to a 92-75 home win over the Bobcats on Wednesday in coach Randy Wittman's first game since replacing Flip Saunders. The Wizards failed to carry over any momentum into the weekend, falling 103-76 at Houston on Friday. The Wizards failed to cover in that game as a 9-point underdog, while the 179 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
Washington, which led the Rockets by as many as eight points early on, shot just 36.4 percent and committed a season-worst 24 turnovers.
The Bobcats saw their struggles continue Friday with an 89-72 defeat at Philadelphia, their 13th loss in 14 games. Frustrations seem to be mounting. With his team trailing by 21 in the second quarter, Bobcats coach Paul Silas received a second technical foul of the night and was ejected. They failed to cover the 15.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (161) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.
