The Washington Wizards play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at Capital One Arena on Friday.

The Wizards (21-33) have won their last two in a row, but they are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to keep rolling and improve on their, 10-16, home record, as they face the first game of a four-game home stand. Bradley Beal leads the team, averaging 31.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals, in 35 minutes per game, while Russell Westbrook continues to play at a very high level, averaging 21.8 points, 10.9 assists, 10.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Rui Hachimura is averaging 13.8 points and 5.8 rebounds, while Deni Avdija is averaging 6.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. The Wizards have struggled on the defensive end, giving up an average of 118.6 points per game, which is second most in the league, while allowing opponents to shoot an average of 47.3 percent from the field. They are lacking in interior defense, as they average a league-low 3.7 blocks per game.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans (25-30) are coming off a loss in their most recent contest, but they are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to get back on track and add to their, 9-16, road record, as they face the first game of a two-game trip. Zion Williamson continues to dominate the game, averaging 26.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists, in 33 minutes per game. Brandon Ingram is averaging 24.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. After missing the last four games, Lonzo Ball (hip) is listed as probable for action on Friday. The Pelicans are averaging 114.5 points per game, which is eighth most in the league, and they are shooting an average of 48.2 percent from the field, which is sixth best in the league. However, they are giving up an average of 114.9 points per game, which is fourth most in the league.
