This should be a comfortable game, with or without Fox. I’d rest him just to be safe and give him extra time to make sure that shoulder is right. That would also give Keegan more of a chance to continue riding this hot streak from the weekend as the main scoring option and see if he can keep it going.

Washington did win 2 games ago and was beating the Suns for most of the game last night. They also waxed us last year. Different roster of course but Kuzma went off for 32

I’d imagine if Fox is good to go he will play. He’s already missed 6 or 7 games for us this year out of 24. With the new rules in place about awards, all star, all nba in place you can’t gamble a healthy game in case you REALLY need to sit one later. Would suck to get to end of year and miss qualifying by one game that you know you could’ve suited up for. That being said, if his shoulder is still bothering him…this is the game to REST.

Plus, Keon more than held his own... not by the stats, but by facilitating, not stalling the offense, and generally being a good guy.

I wouldn't mind letting that ankle (and shoulder) have some more R&R.

If he suits up but is a DNP-CD does that count against him? Otherwise it wouldn't kill us to play him his starting shift and then use sparingly from there.

Yeah, that’s a good question. I found this on the interwebs….

To be eligible for Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player or the All-NBA and All-Defensive teams, players must either play 20-plus minutes in at least 65 regular-season games or play at least 62 games, suffer a season-ending injury and play a majority of his team's games prior to that.

Gotta play in them.

Next two games we are facing back to back for the visiting team ,let’s hope we will see two beautiful games for us :)
LETSSSSSS GOOOOO KINGSSSSS
This is going to be a whooping.. A literal 30+ point whoopin. Maybe we could go for the largest margin of victory here.

Sports have a way of teaching life lessons about how certainty isn't really so certain in the real world. The Wizards are a professional bb team and it only takes Kuzna or Poole getting hot and the kings 3 point shooting going cold for a forum meltdown.
