The Washington Wizards are hosting the Dallas Mavericks and reigning no. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg Saturday night. It is the second night of a back-to-back after the Wizards faced the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.

Game Info

When: 7 p.m. EST on Saturday, Nov. 8

Where: Capital One Arena in Washington DC

How to Watch: Monumental Sports Network

Injuries

Wizards: Kyshawn George and Bilal Coulibaly were out on Friday during the Wizards’ game against the Cavaliers.

Mavericks: Dante Exum (knee) and Anthony Davis (calf) are both OUT for Dallas’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Dereck Lively (knee) and Kyrie Irving (knee) are both out through Dallas’ game against the Wizards.

Game notes and more

  • The Wizards’ lone win thus far has been against these very Mavericks, who are floundering at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 2-6 record.
  • The Mavericks’ GM Nico Harrison built what he arrogantly believed was a “defense wins championships” type of roster before lucking into the first overall pick and the right to draft Cooper Flagg in last year’s draft. Now, Dallas fields a disjointed and injury-prone roster of veterans who were in elementary and middle school when Flagg was born and whose ambitions of competitive basketball already look futile.

SB Nation Reacts: Wizards fans give Alex Sarr great marks for his start, believe Khris Middleton is the most helpful veteran

Thank you all for responding to this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey. Here are the results.

The first question we asked was to grade center Alex Sarr’s performance so far in his sophomore season. The respondents were clear. Nearly half, or 47 percent gave him an A followed by 46 percent giving him a B. NO ONE gave him an F. So far, Sarr is averaging 19.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.4 blocks per game.

Our second question was about which Wizards veteran would be the most helpful for the team’s long term development. Khris Middleton (sorry for the typo in the graphic we received yesterday) was the runaway top pick with 42 percent of the respondents’ votes. CJ McCollum was second place at 17 percent. Middleton is averaging 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He is also the most accomplished player on Washington’s roster, where he was a three-time All-Star, a member of the USA Basketball men’s national team in the 2020 Olympics and an NBA champion in 2021 where he was a key contributor with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Hopefully the Wizards can start getting some more wins as the season continues. And we’ll keep having weekly surveys on more topics as the season progresses!
