The Washington Wizards will be up against the Cleveland Cavaliers for an NBA<\/a> 2025-26 regular-season clash on Friday, December 12. Meeting for the second time in the ongoing season, their previous encounter saw the Cavaliers recording a blowout win over their rivals. Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell dropped combined 44 points to guide the side to an easy win over the Wizards. In the upcoming game, they will aim to extend their dominance, while their rivals will aim for a revenge. <\/p>

The hosts will head into the game on the back of a three-game losing skid. In their most-recent fixture, they slumped to the Atlanta Hawks. On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers, too, have been showing struggles off late. In their most-recent game, they slumped to the Golden State Warriors 99-94. Notably, both teams are coming off losses, and will definitely aim to find their lost momentum. <\/p>

With that said, let’s get into the listed injuries as well as predicted starting lineups for both the teams. <\/p>
