The Wizards are destined to be a bad team this season, the team has not had much chemistry with Kuzma, the core of the team, and their state has been up and down, coupled with the weak young lineup on the bench, so the Wizards have a poor record this season and are currently in the second from the bottom of the East.
The Wizards recently lost three in a row, and the team's form is sluggish. After sending away the team's All-Star power this season, the team's overall competitiveness has been greatly reduced, and Kuzma and Poole are both relatively strong individually, but when they are both on the court at the same time, the chemistry is insufficient, and it is almost impossible to see them exploding together.
In the last game against the strong Suns, Avdija played well, shot well, and scored the highest points of the team, but one person was difficult to beat four hands, and no one else stepped up to score for the team. Poole is still in a slump, and his shooting percentage is very low in both mid-range and three-point shooting in this game, with a cold shooting touch and low scoring efficiency, which is a significant decline compared to the Warriors.
The Cavaliers have been in excellent form of late, winning six in a row and currently sitting in second place in the East. In recent games, the team's core scorer Mitchell has played well, his shooting is hot, and his scoring efficiency is relatively high, and he is a stable and reliable scorer for the team. At present, the Cavaliers' lineup has ushered in the most neat state, including the return of Mobley and Garland, and the strength of the team has been supplemented and improved.
In the last game against the Kings, the team had seven players score in double figures, played a pretty good overall performance, and the team's offense was tacitly coordinated. Mitchell continued to shine in back-to-back situations, playing steadily on the offensive end, helping the team extend their lead in key moments, scoring a team-high five consecutive games, and he was the cornerstone of the team's winning streak. Center Allen has shown strong dominance on the inside, excellent defensive frame protection, and can also receive assists from teammates on the offensive end to score under the basket. Mobley, who has just returned, has been performing well, grabbing multiple rebounds for the team on the inside and providing multiple assists for the team on offense.
In the two meetings between the two teams this season, the Cavaliers won all of them and occupied a certain psychological advantage, considering that the Cavaliers have won six consecutive games recently, the lineup is stable and neat, the offensive end is full of vitality, and the overall performance of the team is outstanding. On the other hand, the Wizards' state is sluggish, the strength of the roster is weak, and the state of the core players is up and down. Overall, fans who are more willing to be Cavaliers in this game!
