    GAME PREVIEW

    Miami (5-14) @ Washington (8-12)

    Heat Update- The Heat didn't exactly catch fire after stopping their nine game slide against Washington less than two weeks ago. They're 1-4 in that span. They've gotten most of their players back from injuries, and have signed free agent Jim Jackson for some much needed offensive assistance. Eddie Jones has been their rock, taking his game to a new level (24.2ppg) in these trying times.

    Wizards Update- Being back home after their Texas Triangle + Memphis road trip must be a welcome change for Washington. Unfortunately tonight's game is the tail end of a back to back they have to deal with right after getting off the airplane. MJ finding a way to be immortal again for a second night in a row seems unlikely. Luckily Miami played Milwaukee last night too, so maybe it will be somewhat of a fair fight. - Steve Caas

        GAME PREVIEW

        New York (10-12) @ Washington (9-12)

        Knicks Update- The Knicks had been holding up well without Marcus Camby, going 10-8 while he was on the injured list, before losing the their last four games. Coach Jeff Van Gundy resigned December 8th, and since assistant coach Don Chaney has been promoted they're 0-2 -- despite Camby returning to play in both of those contests.

        Wizards Update- Here's another very winnable game that would get Washington closer back to .500. The Knicks wiped the floor with them in the season opener at the Garden 110-88... will the Wizards show they've improved? - Steve Caas

          Wizards avenge Madison Square Garden Massacre, but lose Laettner

            GAME PREVIEW

            Washington (10-12) @ Toronto (11-13)

            Raptors Update- It's finally here, Air Jordan vs. Air Canada. Vince Carter is currently 2nd in the league in scoring, averaging 27.6 points a game. He's only shooting 42%, but has been dealing with some nagging injuries. Toronto has lost three of their last four to dip them below the .500 line, so expect a solid team effort.

            Wizards Update- Jordan looks primed and ready for this particular matchup. In the last three games he's averaging 33.3 points... in 31.3 minutes of playing time. Maybe he hasn't peaked yet? - Steve Caas

              And the winner of Carter vs. Jordan is ... Hakeem?

                GAME PREVIEW

                Atlanta (9-15) @ Washington (10-13)

                Hawks Update- Still in the Eastern conference cellar after many predicted otherwise, the Hawks have won three in a row, including their last game against the Pacers, the best team in the east. Theo Ratliff, out indefinitely, only played in the first three games of the season, so that might explain the lack of success. Could Shareef Abdur-Rahim (23.1ppg) and Jason Terry (19.9ppg) be turning their ship around towards the direction of the playoffs anyway?

                Wizards Update- The Wizards were blown out by Atlanta in the second game of their season. They were also blown out by New York, but returned the favor last week. Could some more revenge be had? Another loss to the Hawks would bring them perilously close to overtaking the Wizards in the standings... - Steve Caas

                    GAME PREVIEW

                    Washington (10-14) @ Orlando (12-15)

                    Magic Update- Tonight there will be no Jordan rematch against Tracy McGrady, as he is out with a sore back. Both Orlando superstars (he and Grant Hill) will be unavailable tonight. Not surprisingly, they've lost four in a row to slip back under .500, however they managed to beat Utah 94-90 two days ago.

                    Wizards Update- How many minutes will Jordan play? After being limited to 30-35 for awhile, he went 38 against the Hawks, but had a miserable 1 for 11 fourth quarter showing. If that was an anomaly, more minutes would help improve the Wizards' less than glorious scoring numbers. And perhaps Doug Collins's job security. - Steve Caas

                        Washington (11-14) @ New York (11-15)

                        Knicks Update- The bottom has fallen out in New York since coach Jeff Van Gundy tendered his resignation -- the Knicks lost seven in a row before beating the lowly Grizzlies two nights ago. After getting crushed 94-69 by Washington last week, it might be their turn to exact a bit of revenge.

                        Wizards Update- Jordan's 1st visit to Madison Square Garden was a thoroughly underwhelming affair. Maybe now he's rounded into shape enough to create another legendary memory? It is the tail end of a traveling back-to-back, but sometimes mortal concerns still don't end up affecting him much. - Steve Caas

                            GAME PREVIEW

                            Washington (11-15) @ Charlotte (15-12)

                            Hornets Update- Jamal Mashburn is still out, but the Hornets have been keeping the ship afloat in the meantime, going 9-9 in his absence. Elden Campbell (15.6ppg) and Lee Nailon (10.5ppg) have stepped up to help Baron Davis (21.8ppg, 8.1ast) carry the load. Still, Charlotte has become the worst shooting team in the league (.414), so watch out for that defense.

                            Wizards Update- The Wizards are down a big scoring star themselves, as Richard Hamilton (pulled groin) has been moved to the injured list and is expected to miss at least four to six weeks. Backup Courtney Alexander (8.6ppg off the bench) has been activated, but probably will not get the start. - Steve Caas

                                Washington (12-15) @ Indiana (22-8)

                                Pacers Update- The Pacers are in first place in the Central Division, second overall in the Eastern conference. In their last meeting with the Wizards they came within a last second Michael Jordan three point shot attempt of losing. Tonight they might be looking to prove that close of a finish was an anamoly.

                                Wizards Update- What are the odds of Jordan producing back-to-back 50 point classics? Not likely, but in the 39 games following Jordan's 50+ outbursts he has averaged 32.7 points. Last night Hubert Davis had 20 points, Courtney Alexander 18, and Tyronn Lue 14... all guards, but that might be enough to get things done. - Steve Caas
