The Bottom Line
It may feel like all hope is loss, however the Wizards haven’t hit rock bottom yet. Losing this game tonight will feel like rock bottom. This game is a must win for the Wizards. Since they will be without two of their Big Three Core, expect for Kristaps Porzingis to have the green light tonight. Look for guys like Corey Kispert and even Johnny Davis and Jordan Goodwin to contribute as well. They will need help from their bench. The Wizards will probably go deep into their bench tonight. If the Wizards can play solid defense, make open shots, and just play the game with high IQ, this game should be a very winnable game for the home squad.
