Washington will look to pull off a win here down the stretch of this month to try and avoid a winless February.

But the injuries for the Wizards are going to make it difficult especially with forward Deni Avdija missing his second straight game with a heel contusion.

Let's see how the Inside The Wizards staff views the game tonight.

Washington has a shot to keep this one close but without Avdija depth is going to become a serious issue.

With the obvious lack of defense the Wizards play combined with the inconsistency scoring the ball it will be just too difficult to win a game against a Cleveland team that is looking to make some serious noise in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

One team is looking to increase their seeding in the playoffs and one is looking to boost their odds of getting the number one pick in the lottery.

This extremely difficult month of February is almost over and Washington should have an easier time getting a win in the upcoming month.
