A little lunch time action for Washington on Saturday as they try to stake the claim of not being the worst team in the NBA.
Detroit guard Cade Cunningham looks to make his return tomorrow and they're coming off a victory against the Charlotte Hornets.
Meanwhile, the Wizards are reeling more then ever after losing their sixth straight game and moving on from Head Coach Wes Unseld Jr.
Let's see how the Inside The Wizards staff views the game tonight.

Unfortunately, Washington is the worst team in the NBA.
Not to mention Interim Head Coach Brian Keefe is still trying to find his way as the lead man on the bench and we aren't exactly sure what kind of changes we will see from him moving forward.
Adding on to the fact Detroit will be getting back their best player while they were still finding ways to get wins without him.
The weakest part of the Wizards is their rebounding, but newly acquired center Marvin Bagley III has done a really good job helping out in that category.
Washington is averaging closer to 48 rebounds per game when Bagley is getting over 25 minutes but when he is getting less they drift back to the leagues worst with less than 40 rebounds a game.
We will see how Keefe adjust with the fluidity of this season but the numbers say the Wizards are a better team with Bagley on the floor.
Everything to do with Washington is too unstable right now to pick them to win a game.
