The Wizards face off against the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks on Tuesday

This Tuesday, the Bucks will head over to D.C. to see the Cherry Blossoms…. oops, to play the Washington Wizards. In a game that probably will likely generate little attention from fans, the Bucks will come to D.C. in a game that they probably need to win to remain comfortable at top of the NBA, with the Celtics not far behind them.

The Wizards should hope that the Bucks win and that the Wizards’ slide to (perhaps) the #6 best lottery odds continue.

The Wizards never tank — But they let Johnny Davis and Nunn play when the 6th best lottery odds are in plain sight.

Deni Avdija regressing? — As Kevin Broom wrote last week, Deni Avdija had a great 5-game stretch where he was looking great. But he followed that up with a pretty bad game against Orlando, and an 8-turnover performance he’ll hope to forget against the Knicks. Which version of Deni will show up against the Bucks?
