Even though they’re 12 games below .500 at 25-37 and have lost 10 of their last 14 games, the Washington Wizards still cannot be counted out of the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. It will definitely be an uphill battle, but their next 10 games could put them in a good position to make up ground.
Let’s start with their playoff prospects at this point. According to FiveThirtyEight, the Wizards have a 9 percent chance of making the playoffs right now, and are predicted to finish with a 34-48 record. That means they would have to go 9-11 in their final 20 contests.
