The Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the bottom-placed Washington Wizards on Friday evening in the NBA. The Cavs come into this contest with a league-best 21-4 record while the Wizards are the holders’ of the NBA’s worst record at 3-19. Here’s our match prediction!

The Cavaliers have had plenty of time to stew over their 122-113 loss in South Beach to the Heat this past Sunday. The defeat snapped a previous four-game winning streak for Cleveland and they are expected to get back to winning ways here.

Cleveland continues to impress this season, especially at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse where they boast a stellar 13-1 record. Head coach Kenny Atkinson has his team playing high-octane basketball as the Cavs are the NBA’s second highest-scoring team at 121.4 points per game on average.

The Wizards, on the other hand, have been on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. They’ve won just three of their 22 games so far this season and were thrashed 140-112 on their home court against the Grizzlies this past Sunday.

Washington has now lost 17 of their last 18 games with the only win during that time a shock 122-113 upset over Denver.
