Before committing us for actually backing the Wizards, especially after they gave up 162 points on Thursday vs. the Pacers in their worst-ever franchise loss, we think there is actually some ammunition here. The humiliation bounce-back is one reason, a recurring NBA angle worth following. Keep in mind that the night before the Indiana debacle, Washington did manage to beat the Sixers, and first-round 7-footer Alex Sarr has now scored 20+ in consecutive games. This is also a vote against the current iteration of the Nets, who appear dead in the water, injuries having torn the team asunder, the losing streak now six as the defeats are becoming progressively worse, including back-to-back 30+-point losses to the Raps and Clips. Washington has also handled Brooklyn rather easily in two previous meetings in February before the bottom had fallen out of the Nets' season. Play Wizards
