The Wizards (6-12) are back home hosting the Orlando Magic (8-11). Washington is hoping for a home remedy after going 1-3 on the road with losses to the Nuggets, Lakers and Clippers. Orlando has won 2 of their last 3 games over Cleveland and Golden State.

Game Info: Capital One Arena | 7:00 P.M. | NBCSW | 1500 AM

Probable Starters:
Wizards: G – Isaiah Thomas, G – Bradley Beal, F – Troy Brown Jr., F – Rui Hachimura, C – Thomas Bryant

Magic: G – Markelle Fultz, G – Evan Fournier, F – Jonathan Isaac, F – Aaron Gordon, C – Khem Birch

Injury Report:
Wizards: Ian Mahinmi (right Achilles strain – out), C.J. Miles (left wrist ligament injury – out), Mortiz Wagner (left ankle sprain – questionable), John Wall (left Achilles rehab – out)
Magic: Al-Farouq Aminu (right knee, torn meniscus – out), Michael Carter-Williams (left hip irritation – doubtful), Nikola Vucevic (right ankle, lateral sprain) – out)

Wizards will want to take advantage of Nikola Vucevic’s absence and get a win.

Orlando ranks 9th in defense.

We usually play poorly against good defensive teams. We haven't beat at top 12 defense yet. (Conversely, we've beaten a #7, #12 and #13 ranked offense.)

The Isaac and Gordon forward comp gives them 2 long athletic guys that can really defend, but both are more 4's than 3's - I'm not sure how far they can go. And going with Birch gives them another athletic defender who is not skilled offensively. That is not a skilled offensive team without Vucevic. Could be one of the lower scoring games of the season for Washington.

So if Mo can't go, really not much of a choice but to go with Hachimura as the small ball 5?

He's had achilles tendon problems. Do we have any volunteers to play center?

So if someone responds, I can't delete this even if it gets posted 72 times.

“Thomas Bryant has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right foot. Bryant will be out at least three weeks.”

This sucks.

Hmm just saw this on a quick search...”Depending on the severity of the fracture or stress reaction, the doctor will typically prescribe 6-12 weeks of rest. This means no running whatsoever.”

I hope this is wrong.

Bertans with his first start this year. Big game from him ?
And Bonga back in the starting lineup.

Davis deserves the start.

Brooks must think TBJ is Satoransky they way he’s getting jerked around. Benched for Isaac Bonga not a relationship builder.
