The Knicks claim to fame is their stifling defense, as they are holding opponents to a 44.2% field goal percentage. What’s most surprising is this young core, featuring Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, is currently seeded 7th in the Eastern Conference. To overcome the defensive burden, the Wizards will have to rely on stars Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook. At just 15-26 this season, the Wizards no doubt have a steep hill to climb.
