Kelly Oubre Jr. finally returned to the lineup, which was a big help on the offense. The only thing the Dubs are lacking in size, with James Wiseman and Eric Paschall sidelined. Even Juan Toscano-Anderson will remain out for this game, with Damion Lee as probable.

Thus, the predicted lineup would be Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, Kevon Looney, and Kent Bazemore.

Washington Wizards injury report and lineup prediction

The last time the Washington Wizards faced the Warriors, they defeated them with Russell Westbrook‘s triple-double, and Bradley Beal came up clutch to space with a 110-107 victory. Although quite late in the race, the Wizards have taken everybody by surprise by winning back-to-back five games.

Beal is averaging a whopping 31.1 points this season, and Westbrook is finally showing his All-Star caliber and help lead the way. They are coming off a win against Oklahoma City Thunder as Beal finished with 30 points. Apart from the duo, Rui Hachimura, Daniel Gafford, and Davis Bertans have been vital in their comeback.

Unfortunately, Hachimura missed the last game and since he did not appear for practice on Tuesday, he may not show up on the court for this intense game.

So, the predicted lineup would be Deni Avdija, Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, Alex Len, and Raul Neto.

Game prediction

The battle for a victory between these two teams will go down to the wire. Their purpose so far is the same, to make it to the postseason. Every win will be a step closer to that. If Curry can keep scoring at an elite level, the Wizards could be in big trouble. Therefore, Dubs are the favorites to win this matchup.
