How to Watch: NBC Sports Washington, MyTeams
What to watch for:
- Troy Brown Jr. was a powerhouse on Sunday. The 19-year-old rookie just scored a career-high 24-point game against the Nuggets in Denver, so it would be smart to keep an eye out for him against the Bulls on Wednesday. NBC Sports Washington’s Chase Hughes wrote that “his 24 points were the most for a Wizards rookie since Bradley Beal in 2013.”
- When the Wizards played the Bulls previously this season on March 20, Parker put up the most points: 28. Against the Nuggets, Parker had 20 points, one assist and six rebounds. Parker’s been getting highlight reel-worthy dunks this season, so let’s see what he can do against the Bulls on Wednesday night.
- Obviously, the Wizards’ GM buzz is so strong that it may penetrate through Wednesday’s game. If you want to get your GM fix, you can read these three stories from NBC Sports Washington on the situation.
