From Inside The Wizards Staff Writer Gage Sheets on predicting a 127 – 118 Win for the Brooklyn Nets tonight:

Washington has been awful on defense for a good stretch again in which eight out of the last 12 games they've given up over 125 points. The scoring numbers have dropped, and everyone is struggling to score, in fact the Wizards have dropped to 25th in the NBA in offensive rating.

They are still eighth in field goal percentage at 48.3 percent, but it isn't translating into points. Mainly because everyone outside of guard Tyus Jones is struggling to shoot from three-point range.
