Washington Wizards (24-34)

Current Standing: 11th

Remaining Schedule Strength: 25th 

The Washington Wizards have had quite the season, and not in a good way. Entering the year with somewhat lofty expectations, the Wizards have fallen flat on their faces. In fairness, John Wall was lost for the season and they traded away Otto Porter Jr. However, that still doesn’t explain their terrible start to the year, that has set a trend.

Even though the Wizards are three games out of the final playoff picture, they have the talent (and the easy remaining schedule) to make a real run during the final two months of the season and possibly make the post-season.

They’re going to need other players to step up aside from Bradley Beal, though. I’m not sure the Wizards are done yet.
