Washington has completely failed to meet the expectations of the fans in the current championship. The Wizards have already exceeded their winning plan in early February. Cleveland, on the other hand, is making steady strides towards winning the conference. Atkinson's team will have to achieve a convincing victory over one of the main outsiders of the championship.
