Washington wrapped up 2019 with a 123-105 victory over Miami. Among those leading the charge for the Wizards was Jordan McRae, who shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with a season-high 29 points and eight dimes. Garrison Mathews had a season-high 28 points.
Bradley Beal has missed the past two games with a leg injury and his status is uncertain for tonight. He scored 34 and 42 points in the first two games against Orlando this season.
Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought game, but Orlando took a 101-93 defeat against Atlanta on Monday. Terrence Ross had a tough game, playing for 28 minutes but putting up just four points on 2-for-11 shooting. Nikola Vucevic had 27 points and Evan Fournier had 22. Orlando scored just 36 points in the second half.
Fournier scored 25 and 31 points in the first two meetings with Washington this season. Vucevic had 30 points and 17 rebounds in the first matchup. Aaron Gordon (Achilles) is questionable for tonight's game.
Washington is stumbling into the contest with the most points allowed per game in the league, having given up 121 on average. The Magic have experienced some struggles of their own, as they are worst in the league in points per game, with only 102.9 on average.
