Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans will be playing against Kyle Kuzma and the Washington Wizards tonight. As many NBA fans might be aware, Zion entered the league 3 years ago as a hyped-up draft prospect. However, injuries hampered the start of his career.
Thankfully, Zion looks significantly healthier this season and has been on the court consistently for the New Orleans Pelicans. At the moment, New Orleans holds a record of 13 wins and 11 losses, which is quite a decent record to start the season. On the contrary, the Wizards have been playing badly so far and hold a record of 3 wins and 19 losses.
As both these teams get ready to face off, one might want to know more about the injury reports and expected starting lineups. Additionally, a prediction for this game will also be made.
Zion Williamson is listed as questionable for the New Orleans Pelicans vs Washington Wizards game tonight
Pelicans fans will be disappointed to hear that Zion does not look perfectly healthy for this game. He has been on the court for 20 games this season and has been averaging 22.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. There is no denying the potential and ability that this young NBA star possesses.

As fans can tell, both the New Orleans Pelicans and Washington Wizards are dealing with several injuries at this point in the NBA season. Be that as it may, here are the predictions for this game.
The Pelicans are favored over the Wizards tonight
One might be able to argue that the Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA at the moment. Right next to the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons. The team is currently on a 5 game-losing streak and is arguably already out of the playoff picture. Their more recent loss was a huge blowout at the hands of Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.
