Can Wizards Hit Over 20.5 Wins?

The Washington Wizards' over/under total is currently 20.5 wins per DraftKings. The Wizards finished with a 15-67 record in 2023-24, so finishing under the low 20.5 win total isn't far-fetched considering the team's recent lack of success. It's possible that with the addition of rookie Bub Carrington that the Wizards could see a small improvement in 2024, but don't expect them to finish near .500.

Breaking Down Wizards’ Playoff and NBA Finals History

The 2024-25 season will be the Wizards' 64th season in the NBA. In their previous 63 seasons, the Wizards have made the playoffs 30 times and missed the postseason 33 times.

Though the Wizards have a rich postseason history, not much of that has been recent. Washington hasn't made the playoffs since 2020-21, and hasn't made the Eastern Conference Finals since 1978-79. The Wizards have one NBA Finals victory under their belt, winning the championship (as the Washington Bullets) in 1977-78 by defeating the Seattle SuperSonics 4-3.
