The reigning NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off their visit to the White House, will be at Verizon Center Friday evening to take on the Wizards. The Cavs will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season against the Atlanta Hawks while the Wizards seek to carry over momentum from the blowout victory against the Boston Celtics.
Similar to last season, the Wizards have struggled to start the season. Their first game against the Cavaliers last season, a 97-85 win in Cleveland, kick-started the Wizards season after a rocky first month.
