Let Anthony Edwards shoot 30+ shots, easy win.

Nah... KAT will drop 30 and 15.

https://www.nba.com/wizards/wizards-timberwolves-preview-022621 After a 3-1 road trip and six wins in their last seven games, the Wizards have quickly recalibrated the outlook of their season after a slow start. As Wizards head coach Scott Brooks noted frequently throughout Washington’s stretch of losses in January, all they needed was to get healthy and get some games under their belt. Just over a month removed from their six-game hiatus due to health and safety protocols, the Wizards have seen improved play out of key rotation players like Russell Westbrook, Davis Bertans, Rui Hachimura and Moe Wagner, played significantly better defense and earned wins against some of the league’s best teams.

Should be an easy win, therefore will be a loss.
First game back East after a West coast trip is rough

My thoughts as well. Everybody and their mother is expecting us to win this. We have no real reason to lose. We’re getting a little too comfortable thinking we’ve turned the corner. Therefore - loss.

I don’t see where the TWolves come up with enough points to keep it competitive. Unless KAT goes for 50, which is completely possible.

Ehh, Westbrook probably won’t let us come out and play flat. I don’t think we have had effort issues at any point this year, we just legitimately sucked

Prototypical #soWizards loss with this matchup. Can Washington continue to buck the trend.

Agreed.
These are not the Wizards of old. I think they'll take care of business. It's possible that they'll lose because they're still not THAT good, but I'm not particularly worried about them losing because they're lazy or overconfident.

Yeah and Bertans is back tonight+the twolves aren’t some sneaky good team. They have a couple of the absolute worst players in the league. Some G league teams could probably hang with them.

Watching the pre-game shoot around/warmup.... why is Wagner always so serious? haha. Shooting FTs, jump shots, etc...all so serious. On the other end of the spectrum, Beal and Westbrook are sitting and getting in a zone. Funny how everyone's way to prepare is so different.

It's early but we look incredibly flat-footed on D and on the boards.

We started ok, but the last few mins have been not very good. Wolves look ready to play, and we're just a half step behind. On the positive side, Hach and Wagner have started the game well.

We're not moving the ball on offense. Not getting good looks.

Beal could have made that layup from the pass from Deni but it looked like he didn't have a burst on that play from my view.

Bertans follows his missed 3 point shot but grabbing the rebound and dunks it! I think he is back!
