Wizards On A Mission Tonight In Atlanta

The Washington Wizards Have Minds Set To Bounce Back Tonight In Atlanta

Tonight, the Washington Wizards are looking to bounce back from an ugly loss they suffered against the Boston Celtics the other night. While it was nice to see their good old friend and former teammate in Kristaps Porzingis, that game was certainly a rough one for them. Typically, when teams get blown out the way they did, they can’t wait to take the floor again. They’re eager and excited to redeem themselves. They may have been thinking ever since the game ended what they could have done better in that game or even what can they do differently the next time. Tonight, the Wizards will look for that opportunity to redeem themselves as they take on the Atlanta Hawks.

Back to work in ATL. 🏀

The Bottom Line

Tonight, the Wizards are back to business as they take on the Atlanta Hawks. The status of Trae Young is unknown as he is dealing with an injury. If he is a go for tonight’s game, the Wizards should look to pressure him as much as they can. The goal for the Wizards is to force as many turnovers as they can. Trae Young has been struggling with efficiency this season as well as turnovers this season so this should be a great opportunity for the Wizards tonight. The same goes for Dejounte Murray. He will have an expanded role tonight if Trae Young doesn’t suit up. If the Wizards can frustrate him offensively and force him into some very uncomfortable situations offensively, then this should be a game the Wizards can win easily.
