Washington Wizards
Washington snapped a four-game losing streak over the weekend against the Lakers with a resounding eighteen-point win.
Tomas Satoransky and Sam Dekker earned Scott Brooks’ praise after the game, primarily for their motors and effort shown simply by hustling. Satoransky, who has spent about the last two weeks as a starter, got eleven points, five rebounds, fours assists and three steals. Dekker scored twenty in twenty-two minutes.

Each guy is getting more minutes without the versatile Otto Porter Jr., who has missed the team’s last three games and is set to miss at least the next four with a balky knee. It will be the first time Porter has missed seven games in a row since his rookie season five years ago.

John Wall also scored forty points. I feel like that should probably be mentioned. He hasn’t looked consistently spry but he certainly looked healthy and explosive against the Lakers.
Trevor Ariza will make his debut on Tuesday against the Hawks before this game, the second of a back-to-back. The added depth will help and if Ariza can be another guy who goes hard, it could start to shift the culture in Washington before this season is lost.
Houston Rockets
Forty-Seven points from James Harden was just what Houston needed to get its fourth consecutive win and rise above .500 for the first time all season at home against Utah on Monday.
PJ Tucker chipped in sixteen and Eric Gordon had twelve; Chris Paul scored eleven. That was about it for Houston, which gets Tuesday off before hosting Washington in this game and then flying to Miami for the second night of a back-to-back on Thursday.

Harden has been just as good, if not better, than last season but my concern is still Chris Paul. I wrote about him earlier this week and after yet another lackluster performance, my thoughts remain the same: either he’s hurt or just simply not an elite point guard anymore. Either way, the Rockets have a problem.
Harden was sensational and proved that he’s hard to stop but impossibly hard when he’s getting away with travels, which was the case in the final minute when he did a triple step-back to draw a foul on Ricky Rubio while shooting a three.
Harden knocked down all three freebies en route to a 15-for-16 night from the charity stripe. He should get anywhere he wants against a porous Wizards’ defense.

Free Washington Wizards vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction: Washington shows some heart and covers.
This won’t be a popular play, given the Rockets’ winning streak and the fact that Washington is on the second night of a back-to-back but Satoransky could hound Harden.
