Washington Wizards vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Predictions (2-7-24)

Inside The Wizards staff gives you their predictions and analysis for the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Washington Wizards (9-40) are at home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers (32-16) at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is at 7:00 p.m. E.S.T.

This is the third of four games for the Wizards against the Cavaliers this season after dropping the first two on the road, getting blown out in both.

Washington is in the middle of a really tough month, facing their fourth straight team with a winning percentage over .500.

So far this year the Wizards are 1-28 against teams with a winning record and they don't face a team with a sub-.500 record for another two weeks until they play the Golden State Warriors.

This could turn into an extended losing streak.

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

Gage Sheets: Cavaliers -11.5 over Wizards

In both of the previous match-ups Cleveland has shot over 50 percent from the field and 47 percent from three-point range.

Not to mention they have absolutely crushed Washington on the boards owning a 114-67 advantage.

Yes, the Wizards have been much better at rebounding the last couple weeks but that is mainly because of the addition of forward Marvin Bagley III.

Bagley will be missing his third straight game so expecting much of the same from the first to match-ups is reasonable.

These are two teams headed in much different directions and that won't change tonight as the Cavaliers will hand Washington their fifth straight loss and cruise while covering the 11.5-point spread.
