The Washington Wizards are hosting the Utah Jazz Thursday night in the second night of a back-to-back homestand. Both teams are entering the matchup on the heels of losing streaks: the Wizards have lost five straight, while the Jazz dropped each of their last three games.
The Wizards, as has been well documented, have been atrocious this season. Their -9.5 point differential is the third worst in the league, and their seven wins on the season are the fewest in franchise history through this many games.
Meanwhile, the Jazz seemed just as miserable before coach Will Hardy adjusted the starting lineup early in the season.
