SG 1 - Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards)

Washington Wizards are having a really bad 2018-19 NBA season

The Washington Wizards have been struggling to perform at a consistent level this season. They are out of the playoff spots and are in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference.

They have a 15-24 record and have won only four games out of their last 10. They lost their last game to the Miami Heat, 115-109. With John Wall out for the rest of the season, the onus falls on their star guard, Bradley Beal.

Beal has been playing at an elite level, averaging 24 points per game, along with just under 5 rebounds and 5 assists a game as well. With John Wall out, he becomes the man in the limelight and has been doing really well ever since.

In the most recent game against the Heat, Beal scored a massive 33 points, along with 9 rebounds and 7 assists. If the Wizards need any sort of consistency going forward, they will need Beal to fire on all cylinders, including tomorrow against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Alternate pick: Lou Williams (Los Angeles Clippers)
