16. Washington Wizards
After a hot start to the season, the Washington Wizards have struggled mightily over the past two months. As the Wizards continue to fade toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, all eyes will now be on Bradley Beal as the trade deadline quickly approaches.
15. LA Clippers
The LA Clippers have struggled as of late, in large part due to the injury of Paul George, and they’re fighting to remain afloat in the Western Conference. The hope is that George’s return is coming sooner rather than later. But the good news is that Kawhi Leonard could also return at some point this season.
All that said, the Clippers should be a playoff team this season.
