The Bottom Line

Once again, the Washington Wizards will be short handed. It’s one thing to be down a couple of guys, but when you’re down starters, things really get difficult. The Wizards will be in the same situation tonight. There has been some light in this situation. Corey Kispert has looked like an all star these last few games. He’s red hot at the moment and doesn’t seem to miss a lot beyond the ark. He has been their best player lately. Expect the Wizards to continue to ride the hot hand and keep the ball in his hands. His shot making ability gives him the opportunity to make plays for others. This version of the Wizards are good in the open court. If the Wizards can run and gun vs. the Atlanta Hawks, that should make things interesting and give the Wizards a good chance to come away with a victory in the ATL.
