Pregame notes
Isaiah Jackson, the could-have-been-Wizard — That trade... The Wizards got the 22nd pick from the Lakers, and the flipped it for Aaron Holiday (ouch) and the 31st pick (Isaiah Todd). So far Jackson hasn’t played much, but he still is an interesting prospect (coming out of Kentucky) to follow this season.
The Pacers are a very tough team to beat at home — Any basketball fan should watch the OT win of the Lakers at Indiana from a couple weeks ago. Vintage LeBron with a few deep threes late in the game. But it was a hard-fought win for the Lakers. Several other teams fought hard recently like the Hawks (114—111 win for the Hawks), and Miami (113—104 win for the Heat). This looks like a tough match-up for the Wizards, even though the Pacers are missing several injured players, but the Wizards are also coming off a tough back-to-back.
Can Gaff and Trez match-up with Sabonis and Turner — the front-court match-ups of this game will be fascinating. Sabonis is a rebounding machine. The Wizards will have to find a solution to that.
