Wizards go for 3rd straight win vs. Cavs

WASHINGTON -- The Wizards will go for their third straight win when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.

Washington opened a five-game homestand with a 117-109 victory against the Orlando Magic on Monday night as John Wall scored 25 points and reserve forward Jeff Green continued his excellent run.

Last season the Wizards often lost ground when they went to their bench. This season Green, Kelly Oubre, and Austin Rivers are leading a more formidable second unit.

Green scored 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting Monday night and played strong defense at the other end.
