Although the Wizards had their five-game winning streak snapped, they extended their streak of 100-point games to 14. Washington is the league's second-highest scoring team (107.7), trailing the Phoenix Suns.

Redd is fifth in the league in scoring (27.8) and is averaging 27.3 in his last nine contests, which includes a pair of 30-point outings. He made 10-of-23 shots and scored 28 against the Wizards on Saturday.
