What to watch for
The Wizards have started the preseason pretty late.
After all, most teams played games last week, and Washington’s first game was today which they lost at the buzzer to the Toronto Raptors.
But now, the Wizards are going to hit reality somewhat thanks to a back-to-back scheduled for tomorrow. They will play the Knicks, who are currently 3-0 in their preseason, which includes two games against the Philadelphia 76ers in a series held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Their last game was a 100-95 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
New York is coming off a 2025 Eastern Conference Finals appearance and looks to make the Finals this year, so expect the Knicks to be the favorites tomorrow night. That said, preseason is about playing bench players and deep rotations, so it wouldn’t be out of the question to see the Wizards sneak a win here as well.
