What Wizards Must Do To Start Month Out Strong
One thing we all must do from time to time is recalibrate ourselves and continue to re-evaluate ourselves too. Sometimes, we can get too complacent in life and too comfortable that it begins to make the way for bad habits to become an everyday thing. That may have been the case for the Wizards in the month of February as they failed to win a single game. This month, they are hoping to change that immediately. Losing to the LA Clippers wasn’t a shocker to anyone. The Clippers have been without Paul George over their last few games and they really needed to get back on track, especially since they are one of the best teams in the league. Likewise, the Wizards need to get back on track despite being one of the worst teams in the NBA. They are hoping to do so tonight against the Utah Jazz.

The Bottom Line
Playing on the road is tough do in the NBA. Tonight, the Wizards will have that tough challenge against the Jazz who are dropping in the West standings. Both teams need a win to pick themselves up. The Wizards are looking to end their 14 game losing streak. To do so, a solid contribution from the bench will be extremely helpful. Having Jordan Poole will serve a good purpose for them off their bench. The Wizards must figure out a way to keep John Collins away from the basket and keep him off the boards too. If they can force him to taking jump shots in this game, that will be beneficial too. Lastly, they must figure out a way to contain Colin Sexton. He is so good off the dribble when he has the ball. The plan should be to deny him the basketball. The Wizards will do well to play him full court just to ensure he doesn’t get into any type of a rhythm in this game. If they can do that, they will have a good chance to get their first win in awhile.
