Wizards (44-28) at Cavs (47-24)

March 25, 2017 at 7:30PM Quicken Loans Arena | Cleveland, OH TV: CSN Mid-Atlantic Radio: 1500 AM

Last time they met was..

The day after the Super Bowl at Verizon Center, a night that I believe might have been the turning point in the season. The Wizards lost but showed the world that they’re back.

RECAP: Wizards Fall Short Of Victory Over Cavs In Thriller At Verizon

What to watch:

The rematch and a rivalry renewed.

I wasn’t lucky enough to be in the stands for this one but even watching from home was entertaining. I honestly thought this game was even better than the Super Bowl the day before even though the Wizards lost. This was a night that I believe was the turning point in the season. The Wizards lost but showed the world that they’re back. Tonight, they’ll look to get on the winning side this time around.

Key Matchup:

John Wall vs. Kyrie Irving

The point guard matchup we all love. Our friends who like other NBA teams and the media outside of Washington think Kyrie is the better point guard. We all know the better answer and the stats don’t lie either. Kyrie only has more points per game than Wall but Wall has more rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game.

Proof:

X-Factor:

The crowd.

The Wizards need to be able to strike early and take the crowd from the Q out of it. It will be a good test for them though. The playoffs are coming and there will be lit atmospheres either home or away.

Fun Factor: Could this be a third round playoff preview? Every Wizards fan, ESPECIALLY my generation hopes it could be.

Prediction:

Wizards get payback on the road
