Odds of every NBA team winning 2021-22 title: Washington Wizards +30000

We all feel bad for Bradley Beal.

For the past two seasons, the Washington Wizards shooting guard has averaged over 30 points a game. Despite the gaudy numbers, the Wizards haven’t come close to grabbing a playoff spot.

The problem for the Wizards is a simple one. Outside of Beal, they typically have fielded a team with little to no talent. This year, while everyone is still down on them, we believe they’ll bounce back fairly nicely. Spencer Dinwiddie is going to have the ball in his hands a lot and put up terrific numbers. Kyle Kuzma won’t be on a short leech in Washington and Montrezl Harrell can get back to contending for Sixth Man of the Year in what should be a much larger role for him.

The Wizards are unfortunately up against it in the Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are at the top of the food chain and the Wizards have no chance of competing with them. Unlike most, however, we believe they will make a postseason appearance this year. They simply have far better talent this season than in years past. But, if you believe they have a chance to compete for a title, you’re fooling yourself.
