With the amount of injuries and lineup changes the Washington Wizards have been forced to endure this season, you’d think the team would be gearing up for a lottery pick in next year’s draft.

Sitting at 15-29 on the season after Thursday night’s 124-112 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Wizards are now only 3.5 games back from the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.
