Not only is Washington fighting to not get swept by the Magic but also to avoid history and tie the Wizards franchise record of 16 straight losses.

Washington will be missing a key piece tonight as center Marvin Bagley III was ruled out due to back spasms that started during the loss to the Utah Jazz.

Bagley missing the entire fourth quarter may have played a role in the Wizards downfall that night.

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

Washington just can't pull it together.

Even when the Wizards get 32 points from guard Jordan Poole, a double-double from forward Deni Avdija and five three-pointers from guard Tyus Jones they still find a way to blow leads and lose games.

Bagley being out is a huge problem for Washington as the team is much better with him on the floor.

This is a huge game for the confidence of this team going forward as they don't want to carry the distinction of the longest losing streak in Wizards history.
