The Memphis Grizzlies have been the better team over the course of the season and they play their best ball on the road where they win by an average of 6.6 points. However, the Wizards are playing their best ball of the season, as they’ve finally figured things out, and their only losses since February 13 came against the Clippers and a last second shot against the Celtics. The Wizards and the free point at home feels like the better spot. I’ll take it.
