The Bottom Line
Just when we thought things have shifted in the right direction for the Wizards, the tables have turned as they are hoping to avoid a four game losing streak. The Hornets are currently on a four game losing streak. However, they don’t have any playoff hopes like the Wizards. Washington is already fighting for their playoff hopes as they have slipped out of the play in tournament standings. This is a must win game for the Wizards. Losing to a team like Charlotte if Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma are able to play will be demoralizing to the Wizards. If they lose tonight, this may cause someone to lose their job. The trade deadline is tomorrow a 3PM Eastern Time.
