This season, he is averaging 16.1 points per game off the bench for the Pelicans who are 8-31 this season and are on a six game losing streak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While the Wizards lost their last game to the 76ers yesterday, optimism is high. Trae Young should be on the bench tomorrow, though he will not play. The crowd should be pretty excited tomorrow night for a team that has been improving as of late!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletsforever.com\/washington-wizards-preview\/67374\/washington-wizards-new-orleans-pelicans-nba-game-preview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Wizards host the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
