Playable up to 29.5 - Watson has been the main contributor since Jokic went down, hitting this line in 6/9 without Jokic and 5/L6 games. - Braun and Johnson are both OUT, which is even better news for him since he sees a bigger bump in their absence. - Watson scores 95% of his points from the paint and off catch and shoot shots, which the Wizards defense ranks bottom 2 in both. - He scores a lot of his points in transition, too, which the Wizards rank dead last in defense. - The Wizards rank 24th in PRA to his postion and they are 7th in pace, so there should be plenty of possessions for him to not only score, but rebound and assist. - Speaking of his assists, he generates most of his assists from above the break and in the paint. With Murray and Gordon back, he should get some easy assists and buckets. This is another A+ matchup that we will back him in
