Nets and Wizards Face Off in Nation's Capital
The Brooklyn Nets take on the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena on Saturday night.

The Nets (21-26) come into Saturday's contest with a bit of momentum, as they've won three of their past four games following a five-game losing streak. Their most recent success came against the Chicago Bulls, which they toppled by a 133-118 score Friday night. Kyrie Irving led the way for the Nets with a season-high 54 points, complementing them with five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Spencer Dinwiddie totaled 20 points, seven assists, one rebound and one block. Taurean Price furnished 16 points, eight boards and three assists. Jarrett Allen contributed 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal. Garrett Temple netted 11.

The Nets comes into Saturday's game without any injuries to report.

The Wizards (16-31) check into Saturday's game with a 3-3 mark over their last six games, with one of those victories having come against the Charlotte Hornets by a 121-107 margin Thursday night. Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 34 points, supplementing them with nine rebounds, nine assists and one block. Thomas Bryant turned in 21 points, eight rebounds, two assists and one block. Isaiah Thomas posted 18 points, six rebounds and one assist. Troy Brown, Jr. compiled 12 points, six boards, one assist and two steals. Ish Smith finished with 11 points, seven assists, five rebounds and one block.

The Wizards will list Rui Hachimura (groin) as questionable for Saturday's contest. Garrison Mathews, Jordan McRae and Moritz Wagner are all expected to remain out due to their respective ankle injuries.

Saturday's game marks the first of three meetings between the teams this season. The two clubs split the four-game 2018-19 season series.
