The Wizards, slowly but surely, are clawing their way back from under .500. With their dominant 20-point win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, their second straight victory, Washington improves to 20-26 on the year with a chance to make some real headway as they gear up for a five-game road trip.
That road trip starts on Tuesday night in Dallas, as the Wizards take on Luka Doncic and the Mavericks for the second time this season. The first time they met, Washington walked away with a 113-105 win behind Kyle Kuzma's 36 points. Can they replicate that magic and steal a second win over the Mavs?

WIZARDS vs. MAVERICKS: WHAT TO WATCH
From NBC Sports Washington's Chase Hughes:
"The Wizards were playing at home against a Magic team with a sub-.500 record and a below-average defense, and Washington took advantage. The Wizards found an early rhythm on the offensive end and never really looked back in a game they led by as many as 22 points. Seven Wizards players were in double figures. They shot 53.7% from the field for the game and made 18 threes. The Wizards had 70 points by halftime and 100 through the first three quarters."...Read more.
