The Wizards are currently two spots away from the last playoff spot in the Eastern conference. The Wizards continue to bulk up their frontcourt as they acquired Markieff Morris during the trade deadline and now adding Hickson as they get ready to make a strong push towards the playoffs. Hickson played 20 games with the Denver Nuggets as they released him earlier this month. He averaged 6.9 points and 4.4 rebounds.
