Nets, Wizards Meet With NBA Draft Lottery Looming

Two of the NBA’s most struggling squads face off Saturday night as the Brooklyn Nets visit the Washington Wizards in a game where lottery positioning may hold more weight than the final score. Both teams are limping toward the finish line of a tough season, and Saturday’s matchup could help shape the future of each franchise.

The Wizards (16-57) are reeling after suffering the most lopsided loss in team history, a 162-109 blowout against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. The Pacers drilled a franchise-record 27 three-pointers and set a new high in total points, exposing every weakness in Washington’s defense.

“You should be upset. You shouldn’t be happy, but it’s always about what you do going forward,” Wizards coach Brian Keefe said. “Unfortunately, losses like this happen. No one’s happy about it. It’s how you go forward. It’s always how you respond.”

Despite the embarrassment, there was a bright spot—rookie center Alex Sarr continues to shine. The 19-year-old scored 22 points in the loss and has been one of the few consistent forces for Washington, averaging 17.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this month. His steady progress has made him a prime Rookie of the Year candidate.

“I think it’s a nice accomplishment,” Sarr said of the personal recognition. “But what we’re building right now is more important than individual awards.”

Washington enters the game shorthanded. Khris Middleton and Anthony Gill both exited Thursday’s game with injuries and are ruled out, along with Kyshawn George, who’s still dealing with a left ankle sprain. Still, the Wizards have dominated the Nets this season, winning both previous matchups by a combined 25 points.

Brooklyn Trying to Regroup Amid Freefall

The Nets (23-51) are in their own freefall, having dropped six straight and 16 of their last 18 games. Friday night’s 132-100 loss to the Clippers was yet another blow. Brooklyn trailed by as many as 41 points and showed little resistance throughout.

“Who do you want to be?” head coach Jordi Fernandez asked postgame. “We have high expectations on how we want to do things and how we want to compete. I have to find a way to engage our players better.”

But the game did feature a silver lining in the form of Drew Timme. The former Gonzaga standout, recently signed to a multiyear deal, made his NBA debut and posted an impressive double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes.

“I was nervous as crap out there, but it was awesome,” Timme said. “It was a dream come true. And I like this feeling. I don’t want it to end, so I gotta keep working hard.”

Timme had been dominating in the G League with the Long Island Nets, averaging nearly 24 points and 10 rebounds per game. His emergence adds a fresh spark to a Nets squad clearly in evaluation mode heading into the offseason.
