24 hours after Washington lost to Orlando 130: 120 in its second game of the season, tonight (Sunday to Monday, 2:00) the Wizards will once again meet the Magic for a night-after-night back-to-back game, and Washington announced team star Russell Westbrook Will get rest and will not share.

Yesterday Westbrook finished with a triple double (15 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists), but with a low percentage (6 of 19 from the field) and 5 turnovers in 36 minutes, and the Wizards dropped to a 2-0 balance.
Tonight they will try to get their first win of the season, and Danny Abdia will hope he gets more minutes, more shots, and maybe even more opportunities to run the game.
The Israeli night scored 5 points in just 15 minutes in a game in which he suffered a foul problem and was limited in minutes.
"Westbrook and Bill tried to involve him in the attack," they wrote in Washington about Abdia, and maybe tonight it will happen and the Israeli will be more dominant in the attack.
The problem is that rival Orlando is looking for a third win in three games, having already defeated the East Miami champion in the first game.
