Game Info
When: Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025 at 6 p.m. ET
Where: Capital One Arena, Washington, DC
How to watch: Monumental Sports Network
Injuries: For the Wizards, Tristan Vukcevic (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) are day-to-day. Saddiq Bey (knee) and Marvin Bagley III (knee) are both out.
For the Thunder, Nikola Topic (knee), Chet Holmgren (knee), Adam Flagler (finger), Ajay Mitchell (toe), and Alex Caruso (hip) are out.
What to watch for
The Wizards lost their last game against the Thunder on Dec. 23 when both teams were on the road, 123-105. This time, Washington will be hosting against a team that is young, but now in its contention phase.
The Thunder are 31-6 and won three of their last four games, so they will be hard to beat with star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way. But the Wizards have surprised teams over the course of the last several weeks, so you never know what Jordan Poole, Alex Sarr and the gang can do.
