NBA 2018-19: Takeaways from NBA Regular Season Week 7

#4 The Washington Wizards might miss out on the playoffs

Washington

Wizards really needs a fresh start

While the West is an unpredictable maze of teams overperforming and underperforming, the Eastern conference easier to predict, at least five teams are surely going to enter the playoffs.

One would've had naturally assumed to include the Washington Wizards here too. But they have had a torrid start to the season, so much so that they have already had a few bust ups already.

The Wizards had added Dwight Howard in the offseason for a stronger backcourt. But his injuries, which will make him miss another three months, have made them even weaker. Teams are exploiting the lack of fit bodies in the backcourt which is what is making them easy picks against solid teams.

They have won once in the last three games and if they don't find a way to turn it around soon enough, these bunch of players might not be able to play together for long.
