Cavaliers vs Wizards Game Prediction

The Cavaliers are currently the #1 seed in the East and have the best record throughout the league. The Washington Wizards, on the other hand, boast a record of 3-19, which is the worst in the league. They are also at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Having won just one out of their last 10 games, we doubt that the Wizards have enough quality to take down the number one seed. At this rate, it will be next to impossible for the Wizards to make the playoffs.
