Houston won on the road at Washington in the only other meeting this season between the teams. It was a memorable finish, with Kevin Porter Jr. drilling a buzzer-beating 3-pointer in his first game after a suspension.

Now, though, the Wizards are likely to be out for revenge as the rebuilding Rockets hope to avoid a winless homestand. Sunday’s loss versus Memphis was headlined by poor backcourt shooting from Porter and backcourt mate Jalen Green, and the prized rookie would love to turn things around on the first bobblehead night of his young NBA career.

Both teams are largely playing out the string. The Rockets (17-54) own the NBA’s worst record and have already been mathematically eliminated from 2021-22 playoff contention, while the Wizards (30-40) are five games back of the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference with only 12 left to play. To put it mildly, that gap is unlikely to be made up.
