We better not bring back any of the guys out last game or else we’re not serious tankers. This game is so vital. Puts us a full game ahead of Memphis for 6th best odds. I would even sit Gradey or Olynyk to make sure.

Loss here would also help the Piston pick, right?

Trent is back.

Washington is without Poole, Tyus, and just about everyone minus Kuz.

This might be the biggest challenge to our tank yet. Losing to an undermanned Wizards team is legitimately difficult.

Hope Gary is rusty first game back, he’s been averaging 21 points on 46 percent shooting from the field and 40+ from three the past 7 games he has played.

He’s been pretty good offensively since the Charlotte game a couple weeks ago. It’s the typical someone has to put up numbers on a bad team situation but he’s doing it on really good efficiency and vs a trash team like the Wizards they really should have told him to come back next game. Losing to the Wizards does wonders for tank positioning.
