Why The Wizards Are In Trouble Tonight Against Magic

Wizards Face Tough Challenge Tonight Against Magic

There is no place like home, especially when it comes to the nation’s capital in Washington D.C. Tonight, the Wizards return home after a long Western road trip full of losses. The Wizards will be hosting the Orlando Magic tonight. Orlando has owned the season series against the Wizards as they have beaten them three times this season. Although being at home, this game will be another game the Wizards struggle in. Orlando is actually good this season! They actually look like a team that is promised to make the playoffs this season. They have struggled for years these last couple of seasons. A big reason why those struggles are behind them is Paola Banchero. He will be a matchup nightmare for the Wizards tonight. Additionally, Franz Wagner will be a challenge too as he offers a lot of size with versatility in his game.

The Bottom Line

There are times and moments in everyone’s life when there is a sense of urgency within a situation. Those times could happen at work or school when you have a project that is approaching its deadline. In those moments, one becomes extra careful and tends to focus and concentrate more at that time. That time is now for the Washington Wizards. If they want to win tonight, they need to play with a sense of urgency. They need to play desperate like a team who hasn’t won in over a month. It won’t be easy as the Magic have been one of the better teams in the entire league all season. However, beating Orlando can be done as the Wizards kept the last two matchups fairly close as they loss by five or ten points in those games.
