Arenas expected back as Wizards look for fifth straight win

Nov 20, 2007 - 3:24 PM Philadelphia (3-6) at Washington (4-5) 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Wizards found a way to extend their winning streak without Gilbert Arenas.

The Wizards expect to have Arenas back in the lineup Tuesday when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.

Arenas, who had left knee surgery in April, was sidelined with soreness during Sunday's 109-90 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

It was the fourth consecutive victory for Washington, which opened the campaign with five straight losses.

Antawn Jamison stepped up for the Wizards, collecting a season-high 30 points and 11 rebounds.

Philadelphia is coming off Friday's 92-88 triumph over the Trail Blazers.

Andre Iguodala scored 22 points and Louis Williams added 19 for the Sixers, who snapped a four-game skid.

Philadelphia is 1-3 on the road and has lost five of its last seven games against Washington.
