Game Preview
Starting on Wednesday, the Washington Wizards will embark on their 2023–2024 season on a road trip to take on the Indiana Pacers in the teams’ season openers. The Pacers and Wizards tied for 11th place in the conference with a record of 35-47, 5 games short from the last play-in slot, meaning that neither team made it into the Eastern Conference playoffs during the previous campaign.
With the exception of acquiring Bruce Brown from the Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers have almost the same roster heading into the new campaign. The Indiana Pacers are anticipating great things from Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton, who are both fully healthy for the current campaign after dealing with injuries to important players for most of the previous one. However, as a unit, the Pacers were having trouble stopping the opposition, giving up the second-highest number of points in basketball per game, 119.5. If they are to have a genuine chance of making progress this season, they need to address this important area right away.
For the current campaign, the Washington Wizards appear to be in a reconstruction process after dealing away its top players, Kristaps Porzingis and Bradley Beal, for Jordan Poole, who is unpredictable, and role players, such as Danilo Gallinari, Tyus Jones, and Mike Muscala. The Washington Wizards may be hoping to improve on their 35-47 overall record from the previous campaign, but this could be a down year for them because of the offensive production of young players like Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole. However, the Wizards’ defense is still a major issue. In the previous campaign, they allowed 17th-highest points per contest in the league, averaging 114.4. The Wizards have in fact quite a bit to prove, and how they perform in this area will have a big impact on how their season plays out overall.
