Wizards vs Jazz Prediction

I’m not excited to get involved with either the Jazz or Wizards, two of the worst teams in the NBA. However, somebody has to win and cover. I have to lean toward the Wizards. The Wizards have seen 45.4 percent of their season’s wins come in their last 11 games. While the Wizards have no business trying to win, they’ve put together their best month of the season.

The Jazz are doing the right thing by ruling out just about anybody with a pulse. That injury report is insane. At this point, you could probably get minutes for the Jazz. Seeing the Wizards in their favorite role is enough to force a double take, but I’m laying the points still. The Jazz aren’t fielding an NBA roster with all of those injuries.
