The Wizards’ bench is a mixed bag—some nights they look like NBA starters, other nights they look like they’re lost in a corn maze. Monte Morris could be the steady hand that keeps the ship from sinking, but he’s no superhero. Meanwhile, the Cavs’ bench has Cedi Osman, who plays with the energy of a golden retriever chasing a tennis ball. If Osman hits a couple of threes, the Wizards might as well start practicing their post-game handshakes.
Oh, and let’s not forget the injury report—the ultimate party pooper. If any key player sits out, all predictions go out the window. It’s like planning a beach trip and forgetting the sunblock.
