Why Things May Get Chippy Tonight For The Wizards

Tonight, the Washington Wizards welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to Capital One Arena. This game could very easily get out of hand not just with the scoreboard, but with the tempers of the players and even dealing with the crowd. The Wizards have been having some crowd control issues as there has been a lot of visitors there for their opponents cheering for the opposing teams rather then them. There also is the beef between Jordan Poole and Damian Lillard. This is certainly something to keep an eye on in tonight’s game.

The Bottom Line

Having to play the Milwaukee Bucks is no easy task, especially when they just acquired one of the best scoring guards of all time in Damian Lillard. The Wizards will also have a tough time defending Giannis Antetokounmpo. Having only one true center on the team in Daniel Gafford is sure to be something the Wizards will have a hard time dealing with. In order for the Wizards to win tonight, they will have to force Khris Middleton to beat them. He is the third man up for the Bucks. They have to take Giannis out of this game offensively. Perhaps they can force him to the free throw line. They have to keep him out the paint. Also, if Lillard has a hard time shooting the ball, that will work too. The Wizards have to play smart and well defensively in this game.
