PREVIEW: The Cleveland Cavaliers seek to maintain their four-game winning streak when hosting the Washington Wizards on Wednesday evening. Cleveland has dominated its recent stretch, going 9-1 over their last ten games while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field. The Cavaliers rank third in efficient rim attacking and sixth in shot quality metrics across spacing, three-point accuracy, and defensive versatility. Fresh off acquiring James Harden in a trade deadline move, the former MVP has already showcased his impact by averaging over 22 points while shooting better than 50 percent from the field and nearly 47 percent from three in his first two contests . The Wizards arrive in Cleveland searching for answers after a season-long struggle that has left them fighting for relevance in the Eastern Conference standings. Washington enters this matchup with a 14-38 record and ranks 26th in scoring at 112.1 points per game while shooting just 45.8 percent from the field. Though the Wizards possess elite transition efficiency ranked first league-wide, their defensive shortcomings are glaring—they allow plenty of rim attacks, rank poorly in defensive rebounding, and force few turnovers. Over their last ten games, Washington has managed only a 4-6 record while opponents have averaged nearly 120 points, highlighting the defensive inconsistency that continues to plague their season.
