With just five games left in the regular season, the Wizards (39-38) need one victory to earn a playoff berth for the second consecutive season.

They have struggled of late to find that clinching victory, as a host of players have been injured.

"This is what the season comes down to," Wizards forward Antawn Jamison said. "We want to get in the playoffs, but we also want to hold on to the fifth seed."
