Cavaliers vs Wizards Prediction NBA Picks 2/25/24

The Cleveland Cavaliers pay a visit to the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a Cavs vs Wizards Prediction.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers look to have cooled off from their nine-game win streak as they've lost three of their last four games and are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the 76ers in a 104-97 road loss on Friday. Jarrett Allen led the team with 24 points on 10 of 16 shooting, Darius Garland added 20 points with nine assists while Max Strus chipped in with 14 points and six assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 42 percent from the field and eight of 27 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the 76ers all the way until late in the fourth quarter where their poor shooting finally caught up to them. Caris LeVert had a night to forget as he finished with just six points on one of 11 shooting from the field.

Washington Wizards

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in terrible shape as they are now looking to snap a 10-game slide after getting thrashed by the Thunder in a 147-106 road loss on Friday. Jordan Poole led the team with 21 points, Corey Kispert added 20 points while Marvin Bagley chipped in with 15 points and 14 rebounds. As a team, the Wizards shot just 39 percent from the field and nine of 38 from the 3-point line, but the bigger problem was that they played almost no defense and were never in the contest after allowing 80 points in the first half alone. Tyus Jones scored just five points on two of eight shooting while Johnny Davis scored just two points on one of eight shooting off the bench.
