It’s a Washington Wizards game day!! The Wizards are briefly on the road in Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight.
Both teams met not too long ago on Monday April 19 where the Wizards won 119-107 behind Bradley Beal’s 30 points and Davis Bertan’s 21 points off the bench. Washington is currently on a win streak looking to hold onto the final play-in spot.
Things seem to be looking up for the Wizards despite a key injury to rookie Deni Avdija who’s now out for the rest of the season with a hairline fracture in the ankle. Washington hasn’t used him much as his shot attempts rarely go past 10. A loss is a loss though.
Make sure you’re tuned in tonight to see if the Wizards can keep their hot momentum going. This team went from bottom of the barrel to potentially making the playoffs. Crazy!
Here's tonight’s starting five!
Friday night starters!
