Tonight is a very important night for the Wizards. They are in Charlotte tonight to take on a team they are very familiar with in the Hornets. Things have been a bit rocky for the Wizards. They are currently on a four game losing streak and hoping to avoid making it five. They will have their hands full as Lamelo Ball has been healthy and playing well thus far this season.

The Bottom Line

Tonight is all about containment. The Hornets aren’t getting a lot of paint points. They don’t have a big man that you have to be overly concerned about. With that being said, the Wizards need to be careful and make sure to guard the perimeter effectively. Games tend to get out of hand for any team in the league when their opponents are hot from downtown. The Wizards must contain Lamelo Ball. Meanwhile, it will be critical to get Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole going early in this game. This is a game that the Wizards need to gain some confidence and get back on their feet. The bench will play an important role in the Wizards tonight if they want to pick up a much needed victory in Charlotte.
