Preview: Wizards brace for a battle of the bigs Monday night vs. Cavs (WashingtonWizards.com)

WHERE: Capital One Arena (Washington, D.C.) WHEN: 7:00 p.m. ET TV: NBC Sports Washington RADIO: The Team 980 & The Wizards App. INJURY REPORT:.

That's a lot of offensive creation the Wizards will have to make up for in what will be Kuzma's only second missed game of the season. One of the focal points for the Wizards in Monday's game will be defending in the halfcourt. In an ideal world, the full team would be healthy for all 82 games. The Cavaliers are a team that demands you stay locked in on defense for all 24 seconds of the shot clock. Thankfully, the Wizards (like the Cavaliers) are one of the few teams that have recently been deploying a traditional two-big lineup. The Cavaliers have one of the most talented and dynamic frontcourts in all of basketball. Keep an eye on how the Wizards defend in the halfcourt, especially when things slow down. The Cavaliers play slower than any other team in the league, ranking 30th in pace (96.19). Kristaps Porzingis and Daniel Gafford have been playing together a lot recently, sharing the court for 231 total minutes on the season. The Wizards (24-28) are coming off back-to-back tough losses on Friday and Saturday night, and are looking to right the ship. Monday evening, the Cavaliers (33-22) come to town for a battle in the DMV. Mobley can space the floor, operate out of the post, finish around the hoop, and even create with his vision, while Allen is a constant lob threat hovering around the rim.

NBA Odds: Cavaliers vs. Wizards prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

The Cavaliers are taking the Wizards. Watch our NBA odds series featuring our Cleveland-Washington prediction and pick.

The Wizards are currently 10th in the East, and third in the Southeast Division. Ride the visitors in what seems like their third win in a row. With the absence of Kuzma and Beal, Porzingis is rimed to make a 20-point, 10-rebound game, while Kispert, Avdija, Nunn, Daniel Gafford, and Monte Morris are expected to deliver north of 10 points. The Washington ballers are projected to have a tough record this February, with fixtures versus Golden State, Portland, Washington, New York, and Chicago in tow. They are fifth in the East and second in the Central Division. They won two of the four matchups last year, where they held Cleveland under 100 points in both victories. Before their two recent losses, the Wizards had a six-game winning streak, with wins over the Knicks, Mavericks, and Pelicans. The Cavaliers look to get their second win against Washington. On average, the Cavs hold enemy shooters to a 46.6% field goal percentage and 37% from the three-point line. The Cavaliers (33-22) look to extend their winning streak as they visit the tenth seed Wizards (24-28) at the Capital One Aren in Washington D.C. The game also saw all five Cavalier starters scoring in double-figures, with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley snatching 20-point, 11-rebound, and 17-point, 10-rebound double-doubles, respectively. Washington looks to end its two-game losing streak and hopes to snap Cleveland’s two wins in a row.

Wizards turn another game into extended garbage time vs. Cavaliers (Bullets Forever)

The Washington Wizards, a bit short-handed, faced the relatively healthy Cavaliers. As one might expect, the results were not surprising.

And heck, these sort of pathetic performances from the team we cheer for are already a thing of the norm and are a pain to paraphrase or paint in anything but The Wizards who got the ball with 24.1 left, however, didn’t follow the unwritten code, and, embarrassingly, allowed Johnny Davis to take a 15 foot pull-up jumper with 6.1 left. In fact, in the last couple games the Wizards have led by as much and lost twice, so perhaps the reverse psychology will work this time? And the play-by-play page from And at some point the Cavs rested their starters. As one might expect, the results were not surprising.
