The Washington Wizards beat the New Orleans Pelicans 124-114 last Saturday night in Washington.
The momentum from that game seems to have carried over in both directions as those teams prepare to meet again Wednesday night in New Orleans.
Washington stayed at home and defeated the Houston Rockets, 135-131, in overtime Monday night. At the same time New Orleans was struggling in a 124-107 home loss to the Boston Celtics.
The Wizards are feeling better about themselves after winning three of their last four. The Pelicans are regrouping after losing four in a row.
