The Wizards host the Blazers at Capital One Arena for the NBA regular season. Despite a few isolated upswings, the season for players from the capital is very complicated. Defensively, Washington continues to suffer from a lack of collective discipline, particularly in rotations. Offensively, the team has difficulty building a structured game throughout the entire season. The latest results confirm a sustained negative streak with currently 9 defeats in a row. The bank does not have enough influence to reverse the trend. The Wizards are clearly in a period of transition.
The Blazers, on the other hand, have a balanced record and are showing very encouraging signs. Offensively, Portland is capable of very clean plays, but lacks consistency. Defensively there is intensity, but it is not enough against very well-organized attacks. The latest results show a team with good momentum, winning 4 of the last 6 games. With an overall record of 23 wins and 24 losses, the Oregon franchise is well positioned in the race for the play-ins.
