The Bottom Line

The beauty about a rebuild is the fact that there aren’t any expectations looming upon anyone. You can simply go out there and do your job to the best of your abilities. That is just what everyone within the Washington Wizards organization is aiming to do tonight. This will be an interesting battle as the Wizards are facing the best floor general in the league at the point guard position in Tyrese Haliburton. He has eyes on the back of his head as he averaged 10 assist per game. Ben Mathurin proved to be one of the league’s dynamic scorers on the wing. Rookie Bilal Coulibaly will be tested early on in his NBA debut. This should be a good game and good test to see where the Wizards are ar in life after their recent changes.
