Latest news and updates about the Wizards
Game Story The Washington Wizards entered the evening as winners in four of their last five games. Yet, they still remained as one of four teams in the National Basketball Association with single-digit wins (nine) on the season, and the second worst point differential (-10.5). Minnesota Timberwolves fans were rightfully queasy prior to tipoff. The […]

The Washington Wizards have had a terrific stretch of games recently — this is their best stretch of the last couple seasons, with both offense and defense clicking—most of the time. Not in their last game against the hot Timberwolves where the old and defense-less Wizards showed their ugly face again. Can they turn things […]

The Washington Wizards have had a terrific stretch of games recently — this is their best stretch of the last couple seasons, with both offense and defense clicking. They even just had a couple winning streaks! Sure, they’re just two-win streaks, but, after sporting the worst record in the league just a few weeks ago, […]
Early in the Wizards’ win over the Brooklyn Nets, a thought popped to mind for the first time this season (and probably last season too): The Wizards are better than these guys. It surely helped that Michael Porter Jr. — the Nets best offensive player — and Nic Claxton — their best defender — were […]
Sometimes the schedule hands you a game that feels less like a test and more like a setup. With their best three players all sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back, it didn’t take a genius to predict how Friday night’s game was going to turn out. While losing 119–99 to the Washington Wizards, […]
Going into this one, the Wizards were riding one of their best stretches of the past several seasons. They had just beat the Bucks in Milwaukee with a CJ McCollum buzzer-beater, they’ve won four of their last seven, and three of their last four games. With a 119-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets, make that […]
The Nets opened the New Year looking more like the team we’ve grown used to in recent seasons, rather than the version we watched throughout December. They’ll be shorthanded once again… but this time the matchup is far more forgiving. On the bright side, four out of five rookies are active tonight. Enjoy! 🏀 KEY […]
The Washington Wizards face the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Tip off is at 7 p.m. ET. Watch on Monumental Sports Network.
2026 is here and the Brooklyn Nets are looking to get back in the winner’s circle. They were shorthanded in last night’s matchup against the Houston Rockets and old friend Kevin Durant, and predictably got demolished by 24 points. It was their worst loss in a while, but fortunately they’re right back on the court […]
The Milwaukee Bucks will have to look to 2026 for their first three-game winning streak of the season, as they lost 114-113 to the Washington Wizards for the second time this month. CJ McCollum spoiled Giannis’ return to Fiserv Forum, as he nailed a mid-range jumper with one second left after the Bucks held a […]
Happy New Year! The Washington Wizards closed out 2025 with a fun and somewhat unexpected road win against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. They squeaked out the 114-113 win despite going nearly six minutes of the fourth quarter without scoring a field goal, and despite Antetokounmpo getting a decent look on a buzzer beater […]
After opening the season with a 3-20 record for the third straight year, the Washington Wizards are playing their best basketball of this rebuild. The Wizards are 5-4 over their last nine games, with wins over the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors — three of which coming on the road. Before […]
The Washington Wizards closed out 2025 with a bang in a 114-113 thriller victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum. CJ McCollum capped off what was one of the most enjoyable team-wide performances of the year. The Wizards needed a stop trailing 113-112 with under 30 seconds left in the ballgame. After Alex Sarr […]
Out of all teams that have given the Milwaukee Bucks trouble, the Washington Wizards have seemingly given them the most, beating Milwaukee 114-113 in their second win over the Bucks this season. CJ McCollum hit the game-winning shot with one second left, and Giannis missed at the buzzer to win it. The Bucks went the […]

The Milwaukee Bucks have, for the most part, done their job over the last week (or so), beating teams they should beat, which must continue tonight against the Washington Wizards in their final game of 2025. The season series currently sits at one game apiece, with the Bucks beating the Wiz on opening night, but […]

The Wizards’ defensive game plan against the Phoenix Suns was straightforward: make life tough for Devin Booker, and make Someone Else generate offense. The plan worked — Booker needed 23 shots to score 22 points and produced an offensive rating (individual points produced per possession used x 100) of just 97 (league average is 115.8). […]
The Washington Wizards came into this one riding their first win streak (two straight victories) in more than nine months. The Suns were having one of their better weeks of the season, with three straight wins (against the Lakers, and then twice against the Pelicans). So something had to give. Here were the starting fives […]

Happy Monday everyone! It is Dec.. 29, 2025 and we have just three more days left until we ring in 2026. With that in mind, let’s talk about how this could relate to the Washington Wizards specifically. I’ll have a different post for the Mystics. Calendar years don’t perfectly align with NBA seasons. After all, […]
In one of the more persistent Wizards trends of the past few decades, the team did something fun, interesting or meaningful when I was otherwise occupied and unable to watch or respond. Over the years, the Wizards have made signs, trades, or other major personnel moves (front office and coaching staff included) when I’ve been […]
