Bucks at Wizards
Where: Verizon Center
When: 7
TV: CSN
The Wizards take on the Bucks tonight in a game that is crucial to the east playoff race. The Bucks are 1.5 games out of the playoffs, and can not afford to lose to the second worst team in the league, in the Wizards. The Bucks have beaten the Wizards all three times so far this year, and this will be the last time these two teams square off this year. Nene and Booker will both likely be out again tonight. The Bucks will be hoping that their trade for Monta Ellis will pay off tonight, as they hope to sweep the season series with the Wizards. I think that the Bucks will win 97-86.

John Wall: B+
John started off the year poorly and was being ripped by the sports world. Then in the second half of the year he has been playing great. His field goal percentage is better than it was last year, and his points have gone up, as well as his rebounding. The reason John Wall is getting a B+ is because of his shooting and assists. He is 3 for 36 on three-pointers this season, last year he was 34-115. Although he was not shooting well last year, 29% is much better than .083%. His assists have gone down this year too, from 8 apg to 7.7 apg. All in all Wall has had a pretty good season and will hopefully improve even more next season. His best game was against the Rockets in January. He had 38 points and 8 assists, along with 6 rebounds.

The Bucks enter this game as 4 point dogs in a game with direct playoff implications. Milwaukee has dominated this matchup of late winning 12 of the past 14. They are also in the midst of a 5 game road win streak. New York will most likely be without Amare Stoudemire tonight while he rests his aching back.
