Where: Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
How to watch: Monumental Sports Network
Wizards — Leaky Black, Anthony Davis, Trae Young and Alex Sarr are all listed as OUT. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Kyshawn George are all listed as DAY-TO-DAY. D’Angelo Russell is not with the team.
Rockets — Jabari Smith Jr., Steven Adams, Jae’Sean Tate and Fred VanVleet are all listed as OUT.
* The Houston Rockets added DMV legend Kevin Durant in the offseason, though in the absence of Fred VanVleet and any suitable offensive organizer to replace him, the Rockets have pigeon-holed themselves as a high floor, low ceiling non-contender. They were a hot pick to make the NBA Finals before the season, but now I would not be surprised if they lose in the first round of the playoffs.
* The NBA will look to change its tanking rules following this season, so the Wizards have embarked on potentially one last tankathon for the ages ahead of a loaded 2026 draft class.
