Key Storylines

The trade deadline can’t come soon enough for the Wizards. This team just straight up sucks. They’re nearly impossible to watch, despite having two high-quality players in Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones and a super-young rookie with plenty of upside in Bilal Coulibaly. Daniel Gafford puts up very, very good lines, but he’s almost as fragile as Anthony Davis. This franchise should be ashamed of itself for giving Bradley Beal that horrendous contract and for trading for the NBA’s biggest clown, Jordan Poole. If they don’t hire some courtside baddies STAT, he’s likely going to continue to look like the worst version of D’Angelo Russell.

The Knicks, on the other hand, might be the nastiest team in the league. Going up against them is like entering a steel cage. The addition of OG Anunoby only makes them nastier and Adrian Wojnarowski recently reported that Mitchell Robinson could come back at some point this season, which was a surprise to many. Whether he does or not, and regardless of when, his backup Isaiah Hartenstein has been giving opposing bigs nightmares every time he steps on the court.
