Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When: Sunday, Mar. 8 at 7 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Where: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">How to watch: Monumental Sports Network, League Pass<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Injuries: For the Wizards, Kyshawn George (elbow), Tristan Vukcevic (thigh), Jamir Watkins (ankle), Anthony Davis (hand, groin), Cam Whitmore (shoulder), Alex Sarr (hamstring), and D\u2019Angelo Russell (not with team) are out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Pelicans are good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Wizards are on the road to Anthony Davis\u2019 first team tomorrow night. New Orleans lost to the Phoenix Suns on the road 118-116 in their last game. They will be favored to beat Washington, though they have a 20-45 record themselves. That said, Trae Young isn\u2019t listed as out for tomorrow, so let\u2019s keep our fingers crossed that he gets some games in to show what he can do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In addition, I have to say that I\u2019m impressed with Julian \u201cJuju\u201d Reese\u2019s first three games in Washington. He is averaging 9.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in his first three games for the Wizards. Reese\u2019s 18-point and 20-rebound game against the Utah Jazz last Thursday was also awesome to see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Anyway, when teams head back home after long road trips (and the Pelicans just finished a six game trip, there\u2019s a chance that they may be a bit too relaxed. So hopefully that gives Washington a win to ring in Daylight Savings Time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards are on the road tomorrow night and will play the New Orleans Pelicans.
