Washington Wizards injury update and lineup prediction

The Wizards have been one of the most disastrous teams in the NBA. They now have 12 losses in the regular season. The team have suffered a lot due to the health and safety protocols of the NBA.

The biggest tragedy has been that the team has lost pretty heavily, even though Bradley Beal has been scoring lights out in the league, topping all the charts this season. Their new addition, Russell Westbrook, hasn’t been much of a help as he is seeing a career low in effective field goal percentage.

The Wizards have some injury concerns. Their backup guard Raul Neto is out with a groin injury and center Thomas Bryant is out after he tore his ACL.

The Wizards saw some good form from Westbrook against the Hawks and will hope that he can help Bradley Beal win their fourth game of the season

Probable Lineup

Bradley Beal (G)

Russell Westbrook (G)

Rui Hachimura (F)

Deni Avdija (F)
