5. The Wizards are not a very good road team

The Washington Wizards are 14-16 and when you break it down, look no further than their road record for a cause of concern. They are just 3-10 on the road this season.

They have more road wins than the Brooklyn Nets (1-14) and as many as the Dallas Mavericks (3-14), but other than that, they just have not been that good away from D.C.

With more road games to come, the Wizards will need to get it together or they’ll find themselves even further out of the playoff race. They are 1-4 in their last five road games.

Opponents out-rebound them 45.9-41.5 on the road. They also have some bad road losses. They lost to the Orlando Magic 88-86 on Nov. 5 and Philadelphia 76ers 109-102 on Nov. 16. The Magic are 15-18, the 76ers are 7-23.

Not a good sign for a team looking to get out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
