Wizards Look to End Four-Game Skid in Indianapolis
The Wizards have one stop left on a four-game road trip and a good reason to welcome it: Wednesday’s opponent has yet to win at home. Washington brings a 4–7 record and four straight losses to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Indiana Pacers are 3–8 overall and 0–4 on their own floor. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern.
Washington already has an example from this trip of how far a big night from Anthony Davis can take it. In Monday’s 122–111 loss at Detroit, Davis made 16 of 21 shots and finished with 44 points and 13 rebounds. He had 30 of those points by halftime. Rookie AJ Dybantsa added 21 points and eight rebounds, but the Pistons took control in the third quarter.
Indiana Comes Home After Dallas Loss
The Pacers have their own second-half problem to consider. Pascal Siakam made his first eight shots against Dallas on Monday, five of them from three-point range. He scored 26 points before halftime and three afterward. Indiana led by as many as 13 before losing the last game of a road trip that also took the team to Memphis and Mexico City.
Washington won three of four meetings with Indiana last season. Each team now has a chance to end a different streak in their first meeting of this one.
