No sit-outs, questionable tags, or usage reductions announced. <a href=\"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/team\/nba\/washington-wizards\/MjAzMzY=\">Wizards<\/a>\u2019 11-game losing streak + poor perimeter\/frontcourt defense continue to favor overs for opposing wings\/forwards.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Final Pick<\/strong>: Averaged models project ~16 points.
