The Washington Wizards have a four game winning streak heading into their final road game of the year, and a good chance to extend it to five against a team that will be without their best player. They'll face the Cavaliers on Wednesday night in Cleveland, the game starts at 7 and can be found on TCN.

Unfortunately for those of you hoping to see a matchup of the last two first overall picks in the NBA Draft, that won't be happening on Wednesday. Kyrie Irving will reportedly miss this game because he is sick, which means that John Wall will have another opportunity to shine against some inferior competition. Without Irving the Cavaliers are even worse than the mediocre team that they have been all season, so this could be a good chance for the Wizards to continue their current winning streak.
