The game of basketball is all about runs. You have to be mentally strong to play this game. The fact that there are 82 regular season games can be challenging. You also have to factor in all of the travel, along with time difference when flying from coast to coast as well.

You can start off so good then end the season on a bad note missing the playoffs. Vise versa with that scenario too. You could start off terribly, but then find success late in the season. In the Wizards' last meeting vs. Memphis, the Grizzlies got the best of them. The Wizards are not only hoping, but expecting things to be different this game as they are quietly on a three game winning streak.

The Bottom Line

This is what I like to call a trap game for the Wizards. The Memphis Grizzlies are on track to being without the core of their starting lineup due to injuries. The Wizards MUST double down and put fourth twice as much effort in this game.

Tyus Jones is a good player in this league. Dillon Brooks is one of the best two way players in the NBA. If the Wizards can slow them down, they should win this game easily.
