The Bottom Line

The playoffs may have started a bit early for the Washington Wizards. Last week, it was the Toronto Raptors who are neck and neck with them in the standings. The Raptors are right in front of them in the standings. This week, the Wizards will need to win both games against the Atlanta Hawks as the Hawks are right ahead of the Raptors in the standings. This is what’s good for basketball. We are getting a preview of the playoffs right before they even start with potential play in tournament matchups happening right before our very eyes.
