San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards Analysis
At this point, the San Antonio Spurs are 19-54 and second worst in the Western Conference. Their losses keep coming thick and fast as they’ve lost 4 of their last 5 games including Wednesday’s 130-94 loss to Milwaukee Bucks. On that night Devin Vassell led all scorers with 16 points while Keita Bates-Diop added 14 while Jeremy Sochan added 13 points and grabbed 7 rebounds while Zach Collins chipped in with 12 points and 7 boards as well. Interestingly, leading scorer Keldon Johnson (21.8 points per game) remains questionable for Friday as is sharpshooter Doug McDermott as well.
The Washington Wizards are watching their chances of making the NBA play-in tournament disappear. Just two weeks ago, they were among the top 10 and appeared ready to contend in the tournament. But four consecutive losses and 7 defeats in their last 8 games have knocked them out of contention; now 32-41 and 12th in conference — 2.5 games behind 10th place Chicago. As the Wizards head into the final stretch, time is running out for them and a win is essential. Coming off of an 118-104 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, they shot 50% from the floor but made only 4 of 26 threes. Kristaps Porzingis led all scorers with 25 points while Deni Avdija chipped in with 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Two starters – Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal – remain questionable for Friday’s contest.
