It’s Wednesday, January 8, and the Washington Wizards (6-28) and the Philadelphia 76ers (14-20) are all set to square off from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Wizards are currently 1-13 on the road with a point differential of -15.8 away from DC, while the 76ers have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.

That resulted in better production for the former Gonzaga standout, scoring a team-high 23 points. Kuzma left early with a calf injury, while Poole didn’t suit up because of a hip contusion. There’s a high chance both players won’t be on the floor again tonight, which means Kispert will have the rock in his hands a lot more.

The Washington Wizards host the Houston Rockets in a cross-conference matchup on Tuesday's NBA schedule. Washington is 6-27 overall and 5-14 at home, while Houston is 23-12 overall and 10-6 on the road.

Getting to know the young core of the Washington Wizards ahead of their matchup with the Sixers on Wednesday night.

From the outside looking in, it appeared like the 76ers were set up to sweep a three-game homestand against struggling teams. But as we learned in Monday’s 109-99 setback to the Phoenix Suns, the Sixers (14-20) can’t take any team for granted.

The Sixers’ matchup against the Wizards is one of two easier matchups before their schedule ramps up, and they need to make the most of it.
