If you thought the Detroit Pistons were bad, the Washington Wizards are certainly giving them a run for their money as the worst team in the NBA this season.
Washington has not won a game since Jan. 29 and, despite some near misses in February, has lost 16 straight. The Wizards now own the worst record in the NBA.
The bookies at FanDuel Sportsbook are left wondering whether Washington will be victorious again before the close of the regular season and NBA bettors can place their bets.
In addition, NBA sports bettors especially in North Carolina should use the FanDuel NC promo code in order to make the most of their basketball wagers.
The Wizards’ next chance at a victory is at home Friday against the Hornets, and while odds have not yet been released it could be their second-best chance at a win in their final 20 games.
Washington still has a March 29 home date with the Pistons.
We could expect the Wizards (9-53) to be moderate underdogs against the Hornets (15-47) on Friday.
If they don’t defeated the Hornets, they are +900 to beat the impressive Miami Heat on Sunday.
The next-best odds for the Wizards come in at +500 next Tuesday when they travel to Memphis for a date with the undermanned Grizzlies

Any bet on this market is essentially a parlay of the Wizards to lose every preceding game and then win the game you’re betting on.
For instance, if you bet on the Wizards to eventually get a win over the Grizzlies, you’re also implying a bet on the Wizards to lose to the Hornets (project Hornets to be roughly -150 favorites) and also on the Heat to beat the Wizards (project much more than -500).
If they don’t win either of their next three games, they still have many winnable games for the rest of the season, including against the Bulls, Raptors and Pistons.

Despite having the worst net rating in the NBA at -12 in their last 15 games, they will have a shot against the Grizzlies, who have the second worst net rating (-9.8) in that time span.
The Wizards have played plenty of playoff contenders tough during this extended rough patch, having taken the Lakers to overtime in a narrow three-point loss on Feb. 29.
