Kyshawn George scored 23 points, Alex Sarr added 21 and the Washington Wizards edged the Utah Jazz 125-122 on Wednesday night. Seven of the nine players used by Washington were in double figures, with Justin Champagnie coming off the bench for 17 points.

The Jazz sat nearly their whole squad in hopes of losing vs. Washington, the worst team in the NBA. Is Kyle Filipowski more of a 4 or a 5, and thoughts on Isaiah Collier's in-season development.

SportsLine's model just revealed its NBA picks and predictions for Wednesday's Utah Jazz vs. Washington Wizards matchup

Washington is a long-tenured resident of this forsaken corner of the basketball world, and the current leader in the race for last place. Utah, in their third season in the apocalyptic zone of rebuilding, now has a chance to weaken the Wizards' stranglehold on the top lottery odds.

It’s Wednesday, March 5, and the Utah Jazz (15-46) and Washington Wizards (11-49) are all set to square off from Capital One Arena in Washington. The Jazz are currently 7-22 on the road with a point differential of -7, while the Wizards have a 1-9 record in their last ten games at home. This is the first meeting of the season between the two.

The Wizards want their rookie big man to have an easier time in the paint. It starts with aggressiveness and playing through contact.

As a result of the lack of availability, expect an increased workload for the youth movement in the Jazz rotation, most notably Utah's three-man group of rookies in Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, and Kyle Filipowski, who are all listed as available.

George has been stepping up for the Jazz in the absence of other leading scorers, but he’s still averaging only 16.7 ppg, and has only hit the Over on tonight’s total of 21.5 points twice in his last 13 games. With scoring limited tonight, I’m taking the Under.
