Nets beat the Pacers 136-133 w/out KD, Kyrie, Ben, Joe and co. Exactly the kind of win Jacque Vaughn amassed in the NBA Bubble. Got a short-handed roster to play hard and do enough to leave with a a victory. Team heads to Washington next. – 9:41 PM

Unideal basketball between timeouts by Leonard and Wall.
Leonard pulls up in transition for 3, missed, and that turned into Kuzma’s 7th 3.
Wall missed a layup, then lost his handle, leading to Kispert’s 2nd dunk of the year.
Washington up 98-97, 5:03 left. – 9:12 PM

Ty Lue reiterated something he said about a week ago, that consideration to move John Wall into the starting lineup is hard while he’s still under a minutes limit. Nothing has changed there for time being. But he’s happy Wall will start tonight considering the D.C. setting. – 5:45 PM

Last night in Indianapolis, the Wizards had only nine healthy players available. Tonight, even with Monté Morris questionable to play (groin soreness), the Wizards are on track to have Devon Dotson, Isaiah Todd and Vernon Carey Jr. available to play if needed. – 5:16 PM

It’s the 1st game coming off the bench for Vassell since Nov. 4-5 when he did it after missing 4 in a row w/ a sore left knee, the same ailment that forced him to miss Thursday’s game.
In his 1st game back after missing 4 straight in Nov., he scored 29 on 12 of 16 vs. LAC. – 5:05 PM

When @John Wall returns to DC, he will finally get to thank fans. He talked to ESPN about DC, his relationship with Beal, overcoming dark moments + how he won’t see his biggest fan in row AAA, seats 11 + 12. “I’ll probably look at that s— the whole game” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 2:46 PM

Wizards are yet another team Clippers are seeing on this Southeast road trip that is shorthanded and not playing their best.
Wizards are 11-15, and Friday night’s loss in Indiana was their 8th in 10 games.
Beal, Barton, Hachimura, Wright, Davis are out, PG Morris questionable. – 2:40 PM
