The Washington Wizards, on a rare winning streak, will look to complete a 3-0 road trip when they face the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday in New York.
Washington (8-41) heads into the game with the worst record in the NBA, coming off a 134-96 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 30, marking their 16th consecutive defeat for the second time this season.
However, the Wizards managed to break their losing streak with a 105-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. They followed it up with a 124-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, securing just their second winning streak of the 2024-25 season.
Washington hasn’t won three games in a row since last March.
“You want to be a consistent player, a consistent team? It’s about the work, it’s about the process,” Wizards coach Brian Keefe said after Monday’s win. “Our guys are terrific with that. It’s something I don’t even think about because it’s just who they are now, and a lot of guys are like that.”
He added, “Keep it going.”
Corey Kispert scored a season-high 25 points on Monday, while Bilal Coulibaly added 26 points, his best performance since scoring 27 on Dec. 13. Washington is 2-1 when Coulibaly scores 26 or more points, and three of the Wizards’ eight wins have come when he scored at least 20 points.
