Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers: Storylines

Russell Westbrook had an off night vs. the Boston Celtics and it’s clear that Bradley Beal is still struggling with that hamstring injury. Then again, the biggest story of their loss was how unstoppable Jayson Tatum was. The Wizards’ defense had no answer for the Duke Blue Devil, who torched them for 50 points.

The Pacers were firing at all cylinders against the Charlotte Hornets and didn’t even need many points from Domantas Sabonis. Then again, they’ll be without Caris LeVert for this game and will need Doug McDermott to keep up that hot shooting spree from Tuesday’s matchup, as they’ll also be without Jeremy Lamb, and Myles Turner.
