The Washington Wizards host the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Let’s get to the preview.
Game info
When: Friday, Jan, 9 at 7 p.m. ET
Where: Capital One Arena, Washington
How to watch: Monumental Sports Network
Injuries:
For the Wizards, Kyshawn George (hip), Cam Whitmore (shoulder) annd Trae Young (just got traded to D.C.) are out.
For the Pelicans, Saddiq Bey (hip), Jose Alvarado (oblique) and Dejounte Murray (Achilles) are out. Herbert Jones is doubtful and Trey Murphy is questionable.
What to watch for
The Wizards will host the Pelicans and welcome back Jordan Poole who spent a season and a half in Washington. This season, he is averaging 16.1 points per game off the bench for the Pelicans who are 8-31 this season and are on a six game losing streak.
While the Wizards lost their last game to the 76ers yesterday, optimism is high. Trae Young should be on the bench tomorrow, though he will not play. The crowd should be pretty excited tomorrow night for a team that has been improving as of late!
