The Wizards’ heart tonight (Wednesday to Thursday) is of course in Washington, but they are in Philadelphia. Against the backdrop of the serious events in the United States capital, the team from the capital hopes to achieve a third consecutive victory after opening the season with a 5: 0 balance. Danny Abdia, who once again received the credit in the top five, will hope to recover from the last game against Brooklyn, in which he scored just 3 points.

Aside from the loss, Scott Brooks has decided not to make changes to the top five in the other positions as well. That means Washington will also start the game against Philadelphia with Russell Westbrook, Bradley Bill, Roy Hachimura and Thomas Bryant in exceptional shape. Remember, the two teams also met in their first game of the season, so Washington lost the final quarter 40:24 and the entire game 113: 107. The same game, Abdia finished with 7 points on 100% from the field.
If you thought the Wizards were coming in high spirits after the wins in Minnesota and Brooklyn, the Sixers could be much happier. Doc Rivers, in his first season on the team, holds the best balance in the NBA that stands at 1: 6. The host’s victory will be its fifth in a row.
At the pre-match press conference, just before announcing his quintet, Brooks Also referred to the riots in Washington. “It’s very sad,” he said. “We need to be better than that. I hope all the people there and our fans are healthy and whole. These events are repulsive and embarrassing, they must not happen.”
