Worth it to lock in the last three games?
Apr 9, 2026 10:40 PM
At 17-62 with three games remaining, the Wizards have already guaranteed themselves a bottom-three record, which means a 52.1% chance at a top-four draft pick and a 14.0% chance at the No. 1 overall pick.
Nothing they do over this final stretch will raise or lower their odds, but it could be beneficial in avoiding the tanking punishments that the NBA seems set to hand out this offseason. Would it be worth it to try to get to the No. 2 or No. 3 spot to save face while getting late-season experience for the young players? Or is the risk of dropping all the way to the No. 6 or No. 7 pick too much?
