The Washington Wizards host the Indiana Pacers tonight for the second of four meetings on the season. The first, you’ll recall like a dagger full of air, happened nine days ago in Indiana when Thaddeus Young stole a game-winning shot followed by a missed buzzer-beater by Bradley Beal that would’ve won the game by one. The next two meetings will be sandwiched between a home game against the Thunder in the three games packaged before the mid-February All-Star break.
The Pacers have lost three in a row since beating the Wizards — at New York, versus Boston, and at Chicago.
