In their last three outings, the Wizards have consistently put up scores above 118 points, demonstrating a potent offensive capability. Despite this scoring prowess, they've only managed one win in these encounters. Their latest game against the Golden State Warriors ended with a high-scoring affair but resulted in a loss with 118 points scored against the Warriors' 129. This was followed by another close game where they edged out the Portland Trail Blazers by just one point, finishing 118-117.


The team's performance has been marked by strong contributions from their bench players who added an impressive 50 points in their last game. However, defensive challenges persist as they allowed an average of over 129 points against them across these matches.

Statistically speaking, there are areas of concern and optimism for the Wizards. They've shown efficiency on fast breaks and in paint scoring but have struggled to maintain leads and control opponent possessions effectively.


As they head into San Antonio's territory, it will be crucial for them to tighten up defensively while maintaining their offensive output if they wish to secure a win at Frost Bank Center—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could influence momentum swings during the game.
