Between a frustrating end to the 2022-23 season to trading the franchise cornerstone to a 5-25 start to 2023-24, this year has not been kind to the Washington Wizards. But the team can end the year on a winning streak after beating the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. They face the Atlanta Hawks, who have dropped their last four games. A win on New Years’ Eve would give Washington its first winning streak since early March 2023.
