Projecting the NBA Eastern Conference playoff seeds

#7 - Washington Wizards (currently 39-30, 5th)

The Wizards should get John Wall back soon

John Wall has been out with an injury since January 25th, and somehow the Wizards have still managed to hold onto 4th place in the Eastern Conference. He's expected back on March 21st, but it is unknown how long it will take for him to get up to full speed.

Considering how tight the race is from 3rd to 8th in the Eastern Conference and, the fact that the Wizards are 3-5 in their last 8 games. It is not a stretch to see them fall from 5th to 7th place after it is all said and done with nearly half their games left on the road, including trips to Houston and Cleveland in back-to-back games.
