The Bottom Line

Life without Bradley Beal is definitely taking a toll on the Washington Wizards. They will be happy to welcome him back tonight in New York. With so much time off, Bradley Beal is expected to show a bit of rust upon his return. Look for the Wizards to lean upon Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma yet again in this game. Kyle Kuzma will be depended on heavily on the defensive end while Kristaps Porzingis will be needed offensively to break down this New York Knicks defense. This one should come down to the end but the Wizards must slow down RJ Barrett in the open floor.
