Washington Wizards vs Utah Jazz preview

The Washington Wizards are on a 14-game losing streak and have not won since Jan. 29. It's an understatement that the Wizards are struggling, and they could end up with a worse record than the Detroit Pistons. They are coming off a 25-point loss to the LA Clippers.

Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz are on a three-game losing streak and have lost eight of their last 10 games. The Jazz's last two losses to the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat were very close, but it seems like they are content developing players like Keyonte George and Taylor Hendricks.
