What to know
The Wizards will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but if you look at the performances underway, they will need that credit at home. They will host the Miami Warmth at 8:30 pm ET in the Mexico City Area. The Wizards were making the ball drop more lately as they raised their totals in each of their last three games.
The Wizards are on track to score the most trouble they’ve had all season. They moved on with a 133-120 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.
The Wizards’ victory was a true team struggle, with many players putting in supporting performances. Probably the best among them was Bilal Coulibaly, who nearly had a double-double with 27 points and nine rebounds. In addition, Coulibaly also accumulated four offensive rebounds, the most he has had since February. Another player who did too much was Jonas Valanciunas, who was 8 of 10 on his way to 22 points plus 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
Meanwhile, the Heat took a lead against the Knicks on Wednesday and fell 116-107. The loss hurts even more as Miami led 70-57 with 8:20 left in the third.
The Heat might have lost, but man, Tyler Herro was a device, going 8-of-13 from beyond the arc en route to 34 points plus seven assists and five rebounds.
Washington’s victory ended a five-game home drought that was returning to an extreme season and brought them to 2-2. As for Miami, its loss reduced its record to a similar 2-2.
Book a shot of the goal in Saturday’s game: The Wizards have made hitting deep shots look easy this day this season, having averaged 14.8 three-pointers during the game. Then again, it’s not like the Calor’s attempt in that area, as they’ve been averaging 14.2. Given those competing strengths, it will be interesting to see how their offense performs.
The Wizards bounced back from the heat of their previous meeting in March, falling 119-107. Can the Wizards avenge their loss or is history doomed to copy itself? We’ll find out quickly.
