Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, Tips & Spreads - March 27th, 2022 | NBA Season 2021-22
The Golden State Warriors will travel to the nation's capital to take on the Washington Wizards in a clash between two teams from either conference.
The Warriors suffered a crucial blow against the Boston Celtics as they lost their superstar Steph Curry to an ankle injury. With a 48-26 record, they have dropped to third in the Western Conference, 12 games behind the Phoenix Suns (60-14), who hold the NBA's best record. Golden State hold an impressive 29-9 record at home but are only 19-17 on the road and have won only five of their last 10 games in the NBA.
Meanwhile, the hosts have struggled for consistency in the absence of superstar Bradley Beal, who has spent a while on the sidelines. They have won just two of their last 10 outings and just recently snapped a four-game losing streak. They are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference with a record that reads 31 wins and 42 losses and need to go on a run if they are to get into a play-in spot.
