*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, February 15th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, February 16th.
Washington Wizards
This team is possibly the most confusing in the association. First, I struggle to define what their identity is other than consistently being a middling team.
After a particular lack luster effort equating to a bad loss, I’m sure they are headed for the stretch run of tanking. Then they’ll turn around and completely dominate as they did versus Portland suggesting they are intent on grabbing a playoff or play-in seed.
Stats
Statistically, the Wizards fall in the middle ground to the lower tier in the majority of areas. Also, they score 113.6 points per game ranking 18th while shooting 48.5% from the field and 35.8% from the perimeter ranking seventh and 16th respectively.
So far, defensively, the Wizards allow 113.5 points per game ranking 16h while opponents shoot 46.5% from the field and 35.9% from deep ranking sixth and 14th respectively.
Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves
Although the Wolves got off to a brutal beginning at the season start they’ve turned a corner. Credit Anthony Edwards for taking over and reinforcing with the front office that he is the cornerstone of the Wolves’ future.
Rudy Gobert is finally assimilating and now that Mike Conley was added at the deadline the big man should only improve.
The question is whether Tim Connelly who traded away the Wolves’ future will be as eager to reconsider Karl-Anthony Town’s place within the franchise this offseason. Timing in this case didn’t serve KAT well because Edwards cemented his role and position and may have sealed Towns’ long-term fate.
Stats
Minnesota opponents score 115.8 points per game ranking 19th while the Wolves limit them to 47.1% from the field and 36.8% from deep ranking 11th and 23rd respectively.
On offense, the Wolves score 115.9 points per game ranking 10th while shooting 49.3% from the field and 35.7% from the perimeter ranking fourth and 18th respectively.

Free Washington Wizards vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
Both teams have a tendency to lose focus which is typically a factor in the last game prior to the break. However, with only three games on tap Thursday the players will know their game will draw more eyes nationally that typical.
That bodes well for Edwards who loves the spotlight.
