The NBA Champion is currently averaging 13.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest while shooting 41.8% from the field and 29.3% from the three-point range.  

It's been a down season for the three-time NBA All-Star, who averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest in 2022.   

That said, the Bucks are the best team in the NBA, with a 45-18 record in 63 games. 

They had been on a 16-game winning streak before losing 133-130 to the Philadelphia 76ers (at home) on Saturday night. 

Right now, the Bucks are 18-12 in the 30 games they have played on the road. 

In 2021, they won the NBA Championship, and last season they lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the second round. 

As for the Wizards, they are the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference (the final play-in tournament spot) with a 30-33 record in 63 games. 

They are 6-4 in their last ten games and a solid 15-14 in the 29 games they have hosted at home in Washington, D.C.

Last season, the Wizards missed the playoffs, but they have a talented roster and should be able to make the play-in tournament in 2023.
