The Washington Wizards could easily be branded the biggest disappointment of the early NBA season, entering Friday with the Eastern Conference's second-worst record after taking a 119-100 loss to the Mavericks Tuesday night. They'll be well rested for this contest though, playing on two days rest, and I expect to see a focused and angry Wizards team ready to turn things around.

"I thought we played real cool in the first half, (against Dallas)" Wizards guard Austin Rivers told ESPN.com. "Cool gets you L's. There's nothing cool about losing. Maybe we thought, 'Oh, we won finally (against the Knicks on Sunday). It's just going to click for us now because we're talented.' Like, it's hard to get wins in the NBA. It's hard. Unless you're the (expletive) Warriors. For everybody else, it's hard. You've got to compete every night."

The Magic meanwhile are off to a 4-7 start but failed to make it three wins in a row as they took a 103-94 home loss to Detroit Wednesday. Orlando ranks last in the league in scoring offense and I don't think the Magic will be able to keep up with the Wizards talented offense.

Washington won three of four meetings last season by averaging 123.3 points in its three wins. Road team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.

8* play on Washington Wizards.
