The Washington Wizards return home from a West Coast road trip Wednesday night to host the Orlando Magic. Orlando has blossomed this year behind first-time All-Star Paolo Banchero and holds the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-26 record.
Washington, meanwhile, is in the midst of a free-fall. With a 15-game losing streak in tow, the Wizards have surpassed (is that the right word?) the Detroit Pistons and now hold a 9-52 record. Washington is on pace for a putrid 12 wins, which would be by far their lowest win total in franchise history.
Orlando fields an ultra-balanced roster that should give the Wizards hell on both ends of the floor.
