What to watch for
The Wizards saw their first winning streak of the season (two
games!) snapped Monday against the Phoenix Suns. They have a chance to get back on the winning track against a Bucks team that just got Giannis Antetokounmpo back after the two-time MVP recovered from a weeks-long injury.
The rims at Fiserv Forum have not been friendly to the Wiz kids over their last several visits. Washington has lost its last five games on the road against Milwaukee, with four of those defeats being by double figures.
Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill are the only holdovers left on the team since it last beat the Bucks on the road. Rui Hachimura erupted for 26 points in that contest, coming off the bench alongside Deni Avdija. Tommy Sheppard was still the GM at the time. The Wizards are also 1-10 at the venue since the 2018-19 season.
Tre Johnson, who was 16 years old the last time the Wizards won at Fiserv, has a chance to build off his career-high 24-point performance Monday against the Suns.
