Wizards Host Cavaliers In Pivotal Matchup
The Washington Wizards will host the Cleveland Cavaliers at Capital One Arena on Friday evening.

The Wizards (32-38) are ending the season on a strong note and while they are coming off a 120-116 loss against the Atlanta Hawks the last time out, they have also posted a 5-5 mark in their last 10 games. Russell Westbrook had 34 points and 15 assists to lead the Wizards in this loss against Atlanta, while Daniel Gafford contributed 16 points and four rebounds coming off the bench. Davis Bertans had 14 points off the bench, while Raul Neto also chipped in with 14 points while also adding two assists. Rui Hachimura notched 11 points, six rebounds and three assists. Garrison Mathews only posted three points while starting in place of Bradley Beal (hamstring), who's questionable for Friday. Washington has gone 17-17 at home.

The Cavaliers (22-48) had a strong start to the season but have tailed off in the last few months, as they enter this game on a woeful 1-9 mark over their last 10 contests. They're coming off a 102-94 win over the Boston Celtics the last time out, however, a game where Kevin Love paced the Cavaliers with a 30-point, 14-rebound double-double that also included three assists and two steals. Collin Sexton supplied 28 points, eight assists, two rebounds and one block. Isaac Okoro registered 15 points, six rebounds, six assists and one block. The Cavaliers have gone 9-25 away from home this season.
