The Bottom Line
It is hard to determine what version of the Wizards we will get tonight. Will we get the version that didn’t play hard defensively under Wes Unseld Jr and lacked enthusiasm on both ends of the floor or will we get a team that looks refreshed and rejuvenated under their interim Head Coach? Whatever happens tonight, if the Wizards want to win against the Jazz, they will have to play smart and limit the turnovers. They also will need to play big since the Jazz have a very big team. That means Deni Avdija, Marvin Bagley, and Daniel Gafford will need to look to be aggressive and should log a lot of minutes tonight. The job at hand is to slow down Lauri Markkanen. Kyle Kuzma will need to be aggressive tonight and hope to get him in foul trouble. Tonight is yet another very interesting night and game for the Washington Wizards.
