Written off after Gilbert Arenas was lost to knee surgery in mid-November, the Wizards won 19 of their first 31 games without their All-NBA guard. Led by Caron Butler (3) and Antawn Jamison (4), with help from DeShawn Stevenson and Brendan Haywood, the Wizards are challenging first-place Orlando in the Southeast Division thanks in part to back-to-back victories against the Celtics and a season sweep of the Mavericks.
