• The spread for the game is Washington by 6.5 points.

• Bradley Beal scored 42 against Utah on 17-of-33 shooting from the field, including 6-of-15 from 3-point range, but Washington gave up 71 points in the second half and has allowed almost 140 per game in the last four road losses. Forward Davis Bertans is second on the team in scoring (14.9), but managed seven versus the Jazz, and rookie forward Rui Hachimura is next (13.9) after recording 15 on Friday for his fifth straight double-figure effort since the All-Star break. Center Thomas Bryant connected on 7-of-10 shots from the floor to finish with 16 points last time out to boost his season average to 12.4.

• Eric Paschall averaged 24 points over the last two games on 17-of-30 shooting and emerging guard Damion Lee is averaging 17.1 over the past seven contests after pouring in 20 against Phoenix. Forward Andrew Wiggins, acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, returned after a one-game absence due to back spasms to score 17 on Saturday and is averaging 18.9 in seven games with Golden State. Curry is participating in full scrimmages with the team and is scheduled to practice with Santa Cruz of the NBA G League on Monday, but isn’t expected to return to the court for the Warriors until later this month.

• Washington G Shabazz Napier is averaging 15.3 points in the last three contests and 10.7 since being acquired Feb. 6 from Minnesota.
