The Washington Wizards and the Portland Trail Blazers will meet at Capital One Arena in Wednesday's NBA cross-conference clash. The Wizards are 15th in the Eastern Conference table, while the Blazers are 13th in the Western Conference. Let's head into the match prediction. 

The Washington Wizards did not let fatigue affect their performance against the Brooklyn Nets on the second night of a back-to-back. In that match, they claimed a convincing 107-99 home victory. 

Before this win, the Wizards were faced with difficulties losing six straight matches. It's without a shadow of a doubt their confidence has been boosted.

It's also worth mentioning that they were on a 12-match losing streak before the win. Heading into this clash, they will be eyeing a second consecutive home win for the first time since December 27, 2024.

The Portland Trail Blazers resumed the NBA regular season with a 110-102 home defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. This comes after the All-Star Weekend. 

However, the Blazers have managed to bounce back from that setback with two consecutive wins. The most recent of those wins was a 114-112 away triumph against the struggling Jazz.

Coming into this game, they have shown some stability in their performance with an 8-4 record in their last 12 outings. Away from home, though, they have lost three of their last four matches.
