Washington Wizards Form

The home crowd will be desperate for a change in fortunes when the Washington Wizards hit the court again. The hosts have been on a poor run of form lately. They’ve lost their last three home matches and are coming off a 120-122 defeat to the Atlanta Hawks. The overall record for the last ten games is 5-5.

In terms of points added, it’s fair to say the Washington Wizards have a consistent offense. The home team has put 115.6 points on board in the last five matches, averaging 113.3 points for this season. The hosts have held the opposition to a scoring average of 113.4 points per game and 113.7 points in home games.

The Washington Wizards had a record of 35-47 in the previous season, resulting in them not making it to the playoffs and being placed 12th in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the Southeast Division. Nevertheless, this year they have a 31-35 record, enabling them to go tenth in the Eastern Conference so far.

The Washington Wizards have no reported injury concerns ahead of their latest matchup.

Atlanta Hawks Form

The Atlanta Hawks snapped out of a two-game losing streak last time out by beating the Washington Wizards 122-120, leaving their current record from the past ten games at 5-5. They are also 1-4 in the last five on the road.

This season, the Atlanta Hawks have been amongst the NBA’s most efficient scoring teams. Going into their game on Friday, they are putting up 117.2 points on average. On the defensive end of the floor, the away team has given up 119.4 points in the last five outings and 117.1 points on average for the season.

The Atlanta Hawks look set for another round in the Play-In Tournament. Last year, the away side failed to advance past the preliminary playoff competition after a 46-43 season.
