PASCHALL CAN PLAY
Eric Paschall recently tallied his twelfth 20-plus point game with a team-high 25 points, demonstrating consistency and reliability off the bench. In each of the last six games, Paschall has scored 10-or-more points, averaging 16.2 points per game over that span. Furthermore in his 26 starts this season, Paschall has recorded an average of 17 points and 5.7 rebounds. Among all rookies, the Rising Star ranks fifth in scoring (13.4 ppg), fifth in rebounding (4.6 rpg) and is one of just three first-year players to have two 30-point performances this season.
TEAM LEADERS
WASHINGTON SCOUTING REPORT
The Washington Wizards sit just outside of the playoff picture in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind the eighth place Orlando Magic. Bradley Beal, the team’s leading scorer with over 30 points per game, is coming off of a pair of 50-plus point games last Sunday and Monday. Despite the offensive outburst from Beal, the Wizards were unable to win either game and are 4-4 in their last eight games. While Washington brings with them a lot of offensive firepower from Beal, potential Rookie of the Year candidate Rui Hachimura (13.9 points per game), and six other players who double figures in scoring, their defense ranks dead last in points allowed (119.9 oppg) and defensive rating (115.6). The Warriors exploited this in their previous matchup when the Dubs sank 15 three-pointers on a 50-percent shooting night from beyond the arc en route to a 125-117 win in their last matchup with Washington on Feb. 3.
