Game Notes
The Wizards are coming off back-to-back double-digit losses against the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder, the two finalists of this year’s NBA Cup. But before that, Washington was able to scratch out a win over the very same Charlotte team they’re set to face on Thursday.
The Hornets are one of the few teams in arguably worse form than the Wizards at present. The visitors have lost five in a row and are 1-13 over their last 14 games.
Charlotte may again be without Brandon Miller, who is still dealing with an ankle injury. Washington, however, may also be short-handed as Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, and Bub Carrington are all listed as questionable for the contest.
Sarr had one of the best games of his young career during the teams’ previous matchup. He tallied 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in the 123-114 affair.
