Key facts

• Washington has lost the last 16 games at home
• 10 of the last 14 games between these two teams have stayed under the total point line

Both teams have no chance of advancing to the playoffs and it is a matter of time before they go in full tanking mode. The Wizards are under pressure since they haven't won a single game since January 29th and are on a 16-game losing streak. One of the few players who has a solid season for the team from DC is Deni Avdija. The Israeli is averaging 13.7 points per game for the season but 18.9 in the last 10 games. He is coming off a 14-point performance in the last game against Orlando and is expected to go over 15.5 against a poor defense like Charlotte's.
