A few weeks ago, the Washington Wizards were neck-and-neck with the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. Talks of trading Bradley Beal and John Wall resurfaced, and it seemed like the team was prepping to hit the blow-up button. With Wall out for the remainder of the season due to another surgery, calls for a rebuild were warranted.
Slowly, the Wizards put together some wins, with their recent impressive ones coming against the talented 76ers and Thunder. Those wins, coupled with some grind-out victories against lesser opponents, have put the Wizards back in the playoff picture.
