WASHINGTON -- To get their 17th straight home victory, John Wall and the Washington Wizards need to defeat the Anthony Davis-led New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night.
Because the Wizards beat the Pelicans less than a week ago on unfriendly turf, the hottest team in the Eastern Conference should feel good about its chances.
Since Dec. 1, Washington (29-20) is 23-9 with 13 wins in its last 15 games and six straight. The current overall streak includes Thursday's 116-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers and a 107-94 win at New Orleans Sunday.
