What you need to know about the Wizards
The point spread may have favored the Wizards on Friday, but the final result did not. They fell 124-117 to Charlotte. The Wizards found out winning isn't easy when you're outrebounded 25 to six on the offensive glass. Washington had eight players score in double-figures in the loss but nobody scored more than 17 points.
Kyle Kuzma led the way with 17 points but it was a below-average game by his standards this season. Kuzma is averaging 24.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists so far and is shooting a career-best 49.7% from the floor. Meanwhile, offseason addition Jordan Poole is averaging 17.0 points per game but shooting only 30.8% from the 3-point line.
What you need to know about the Nets
Meanwhile, Brooklyn came up short against Boston on Friday, falling 121-107. Despite the loss, the Nets got a solid performance out of Lonnie Walker IV, who scored 20 points and snatched seven rebounds off the bench. The Nets scored 60 points off the bench as a team but couldn't slow down the title favorites at the other end.
Brooklyn will be without leading scorer Cam Thomas as he's expected to miss at least two weeks with an ankle injury and Ben Simmons is also out with a hip injury. Mikal Bridges, who's averaging 19.4 points per game, will have to carry a heavier load on both ends with those two players on the shelf.
