The Wizards blew a 4th quarter lead down the stretch to the New Orleans Pelicans and look to get a win against the Mavericks who already beat Washington by double digits earlier this season.

The Mavericks might be looking at Garrett Temple in the starting backcourt and laughing.

Will there be a Javale McGee sighting? He has only played 6 games so far this season.
For the Wizards to win this game
- They need to play with defensive intensity for four quarters - especially against Wes Mathews who torched the WIzards for 36 points last time around.
- Make their 3s and free throws - the Wizards shot less than 30% from 3 and less than 60% from the free throw in their last meeting.
- The Wizards are only 1-4 off a back to backs including a horrible loss to the Lakers but most recently came away with a win against the Miami Heat. The Wizards have to dig deep down to find the energy to make this one competitive.

Hopefully G Wiz can hug every WIzards' fan who is sad after last nights loss.
