Can Wizards Hit Over 20.5 Wins?

The Washington Wizards' over/under total entering the season was 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. They only improved by three games, finishing the 2024-2025 campaign with an 18-64 record.
