The New York Knicks won the first of their NBA double-headers against the Washington Wizards last time around, and will be looking for a repeat. Julius Randle produced a massive 37-point performance as the Washington Wizards continued their recent slump in form. The Wizards have been unlucky with injuries in the 2020-21 NBA season and have relied on their All-Star guard pairing of Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal.
The Washington Wizards have had some good offensive performances but do not have a good supporting cast. Their defensive issues have been exploited by teams all season, even during the games that they have ended up winning. Their fixtures have eased up and they need a quick change in fortunes if they are to make anything out of their season.
