Amid a tough-luck season, the Wizards have yet to register a victory –losing all three contests by double-digits.
For Atlanta, an unblemished beginning was marred Wednesday night via home defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Hawks will attempt to regroup in a short-order rematch vs. Washington. Meanwhile, the Wizards aim to avoid an unpalatable 0-4 start.
Atlanta Hawks
Wednesday, from Philips Arena, Atlanta ceded 123 points to an intently focused Lakers grouping. The bane of Atlanta’s performance was a permeable perimeter defense.
Los Angeles’ four top guards combined for 74 points on 28-of-53 shooting. The Hawks players tasked with preventing such an outburst — namely Kyle Korver, Tim Hardaway Jr., Thabo Sefolosha, and Dennis Schroder — were utterly remiss.
Atlanta might have developed a false sense of security following Tim Hardaway Jr’s torrid first quarter. The second-year Hawk exploded for 14 to build a 37-28 advantage.
However, as the contest was up for grabs in the clutch, former Hawk Lou Williams took over. Williams scored 16 in the final frame to ensure victory for Los Angeles.

While Atlanta struggled after intermission with L.A., their aplomb versus Washington should suffer no ill effects.
In Atlanta’s dominant October 27 mastery of the Wizards, All-Stars Dwight Howard and Paul Millsap led a seismic fourth-quarter effort. The Hawks feel as though they have Washington’s number.
Washington Wizards
Through three games, the Wizards’ net differential of -11.3 is among the league’s worst. Opposite Toronto, Scott Brooks’ bunch was overwhelmed on their home floor.
A key element of Washington’s ineptitude is a conspicuous lack of bench productivity. Against Toronto, the Wizards’ reserves contributed only eleven points.
Though Washington’s backups fared better versus Atlanta, overall, the team did not.

John Wall and Bradley Beal floundered in their first performance against the Hawks. The vaunted backcourt shot a combined 9-of-27, while committing eight costly turnovers.
If the Wizards’ starting guards and second-team performers struggle on Friday, an 0-4 start is almost certain.
