The Washington Wizards are on the road tomorrow night and will play the New Orleans Pelicans. Let’s get to it.

What to watch for
The Wizards
are on the road to Anthony Davis’ first team tomorrow night. New Orleans lost to the Phoenix Suns on the road 118-116 in their last game. They will be favored to beat Washington, though they have a 20-45 record themselves. That said, Trae Young isn’t listed as out for tomorrow, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that he gets some games in to show what he can do.
In addition, I have to say that I’m impressed with Julian “Juju” Reese’s first three games in Washington. He is averaging 9.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in his first three games for the Wizards. Reese’s 18-point and 20-rebound game against the Utah Jazz last Thursday was also awesome to see.
Anyway, when teams head back home after long road trips (and the Pelicans just finished a six game trip, there’s a chance that they may be a bit too relaxed. So hopefully that gives Washington a win to ring in Daylight Savings Time.
