Tonight begins the longest homestand of the season for the Wizards, as they will play their next five games at home. The Wizards come into tonight's game following a tough four game road trip where the team finished 1-3. In their last game the Wizards fell, 85-84 to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Wizards trailed late in the contest, but had one last chance to pull out the road win when Nick Young's jumper was just off the mark.
