Wizards Meet Thunder in Interconference Clash
The Washington Wizards take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Sunday afternoon.

The Wizards (24-45), who are playing without both Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans in the Orlando bubble, are unsurprisingly having a difficult time during their seeding games thus far. Washington has come up short in all five of their contests, with their most recent stumble coming against the New Orleans Pelicans by a 118-107 score on Friday night. Rui Hachimura led the Wizards with 23 points, six rebounds and two assists. Thomas Bryant supplied 22 points, eight boards, one assist, two steals and two blocks. Troy Brown, Jr. generated a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included five assists and two steals. Ish Smith produced 18 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and four steals.

The Wizards will list Shabazz Napier (ankle) as probable for Sunday's game. Garrison Mathews remains away from Orlando.

The Thunder (42-26) have had a slightly different Orlando experience, although they're just 2-2 in the restarted seasons. Their most recent time on the court resulted in one of those losses, as OKC fell to the Memphis Grizzlies by a 121-92 score on Friday afternoon. Chris Paul led the way for the Thunder with 17 points, adding five rebounds, five assists and four steals. Luguentz Dortz followed with 16 points, three boards, two assists and one steal. Danilo Gallinari and Darius Bazley contributed matching 12-point tallies and also dished out two assists apiece. Nerlens Noel furnished 11 points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 10 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal.

The Thunder will continue to be without Steven Adams (lower leg) and Dennis Schroder (personal-away from team) for Sunday's contest.

Sunday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Wizards hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 97-85 win back on Oct. 25.
