Following a pair of blowout losses to begin the second half of the season, Brian Keefe and the Washington Wizards returned home to face the surging Cleveland Cavaliers.
Washington entered the contest losers of ten-straight games and winless in the month of February. With Deni Avdija out for a second-consecutive game with a left heel contusion, Landry Shamet started in his place alongside Tyus Jones, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley III. Jordan Poole came off the bench once again. Corey Kispert was a late scratch due to a non-covid illness.
The Wizards fell to the Cavaliers, 114-105.
