Recent Performance Trends


The Wizards have had a challenging season so far, with their recent games highlighting both their struggles and strengths. Despite a tough loss against the Philadelphia 76ers where they scored 103 points but allowed 109, there were positive takeaways including a solid three-point shooting percentage of 43 percent and an impressive total rebound count of 62. However, their defensive rating and points allowed per possession indicate areas needing improvement.


In another recent matchup against the Houston Rockets, despite scoring 112 points thanks in part to bench contributions totaling 67 points and maintaining a competitive fast break percentage of 67 percent, the Wizards fell short as they struggled defensively allowing 135 points. This pattern continued against the New Orleans Pelicans; although they managed to score efficiently from two-point range (56 percent), defensive lapses led to a defeat with them conceding 110 points.
