Playoff-chasing Golden State Warriors will be at home against the struggling Washington Wizards for their next NBA match. The Warriors enter this tie in 11th place in the Western Conference whereas the Wizards are rock bottom in the East. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Warriors got back to winning ways last time out, thanks to an exciting 116-115 success over the Timberwolves in Minnesota. They had lost back-to-back games going into the match.

Steve Kerr’s men have failed to impress this season. They have compiled a 20-20 record and could be forced into contesting the play-in once again if they are to make the playoffs proper.

Golden State have won the last five meetings with Washington.

Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga are still unavailable for the Warriors.

The Wizards are by far and wide the worst team this season. Brian Keefe’s men have managed just six wins and have lost a whopping 33 times.

Yet to win since New Year’s Day, the Wizards arrive in San Francisco on an eight-match losing streak. They were defeated 130-123 by the Suns last time out before embarking on a six-match road trip out West.

The Wizards have managed just one road win in 16 such games. Malcolm Brogdon, Saddiq Bey and Marvin Bagley remain out injured.
