GAME PREVIEW
Charlotte (16-13) @ Washington (12-16)
Hornets Update- Since losing to Washington three days ago, both teams have played a game each, but Charlotte's was last night at home. They won, beating Milwaukee 97-90, so maybe they'll be both satisfied and a little bit tired.
Wizards Update- Same team, only now he's got home court advantage... could Jordan go for 50+ on the Hornets again? Unlike against Indiana, he's had a day of rest in between, so that should increase the chances. Charlotte's defensive specialist Stacey Augmon only logged nine minutes last game. Perhaps he'll play more this time around, although they'd certainly miss Lee Nailon's offense (18 points in 33 minutes last meeting). - Steve CaasComment

GAME PREVIEW
New Jersey (20-8) @ Washington (13-16)
Nets Update- What a difference a Kidd makes. Last year the Nets were one of the worst teams in the league, but after completing the Jason Kidd-for-Stephon Marbury swap, they're now one of the best. Recently they went on a 12 game win streak tear, the longest in the league so far this season, but have lost their last two, so look out. There's still some MVP talk for Kidd despite his modest numbers (14.5ppg, 10.5ast), but he'd probably have to improve his dreary 36% shooting to at least something resembling his usual awful mark to get serious consideration.
Wizards Update- Not to beat it into the ground, but the hopes for another Jordan scoring feast should be high tonight. He scored 41 points against the Nets in an exhibtion, and New Jersey coach Byron Scott hates to double. 60, anyone? - Steve CaasComment

GAME PREVIEW
Chicago (7-23) @ Washington (13-17)
Bulls Update- It's already another ugly, lost season for Chicago, although it is beginning to look up a bit: after going 1-for-November, they won six games in December. That wasn't enough to stop head coach Tim Floyd from resigning on Christmas Eve and the reins to be handed over to Bill Cartwright.
Wizards Update- Will Jordan serve up something special to his former team? There have been rumors that he was quite miffed at not being offered a position in the Bulls' front office after he retired. Either way, no doubt he'll be enjoying the opportunity to personally embarrass the team that Jerry Krause broke up the championship Bulls squad for to put on the court in their place. - Steve CaasComment

GAME PREVIEW
Clippers (16-18) @ Washington (14-17)
Clippers Update- It's a new day in Clipperland -- the team is actually competing for a playoff spot this year. They are now led by new acquisition Elton Brand (20.8 ppg, 11.5reb), who rumors say the Wizards could have acquired from Chicago if they traded their no.1 pick in the draft. They lost to Philly 81-80 last night so they may be tired, but will probably be much more competitive.
Wizards Update- Washington may be very well rested, but they might also be very rusty, having played only one game in the last eight days. Last year when the Clippers visited, they came back from being blown out to get the win, causing Jordan's now infamous attack on his television set. If the same thing happens tonight, he'll be right in the middle of it. - Steve CaasComment
