Having just played yesterday, they will head out on the road to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers at 7:00 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center.

The Wizards managed to keep up with the Rockets until halftime on Tuesday, but things quickly went downhill from there. The Wizards suffered a bruising 135-112 defeat at the hands of the Rockets. Washington was up 28-16 in the first but couldn't hold on to the lead.
The Wizards' loss came about despite a quality game from Corey Kispert, who went 7 for 10 en route to 23 points. What's more, Kispert also posted a 71.4% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's posted since back in April of 2024.

Meanwhile, the 76ers opened the new year with a less-than-successful 109-99 defeat to the Suns. Philadelphia got off to an early lead (up 12 with 5:34 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum.
The 76ers' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Tyrese Maxey, who dropped a double-double on 31 points and ten assists, and Kelly Oubre Jr., who dropped a double-double on 26 points and 11 rebounds.
