Washington Wizards (3-19) and Cleveland Cavaliers will clash in the Eastern Conference on Friday night at Capital One Arena. The Wizards have been the worst-performing side in the conference, sitting at the bottom of the standings, 15 games behind the Pistons at the top. They’ll be looking to stop their three-game slide when they face the Cavs. Their latest assignment ended in a 116-131 loss against the Hawks. They must start winning to turn their campaign around.

Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, haven’t lived up to expectations in the Eastern Conference this season. The Cavs find themselves in the eighth position, 5.5 games behind the Pistons. They have been inconsistent this year, having lost six of their last 10 matches. In their last game, the Cavaliers suffered a painful 94-99 loss against the Warriors, which was met with boos from their home supporters.

Our Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavaliers will come into this game as the favorites. They are currently experiencing a rough patch, and this game presents an opportunity for them to bounce back to winning ways. The Cavs could have a field day against the Wizards’ weak defense, which has conceded an average of 128.3 points per contest. That’s the worst defensive record in the league. The Wizards have also struggled in attack this season, scoring an average of 112.4 PPG, which is 24th in the league. Note that the Wizards have won against the Cavs only once in the last 15 meetings. We expect them to extend this record on Friday night.
