Wizards notes: Home opener tonight

The Wizards will host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in their home opener at Verizon Center. Both teams have a 1-1 record. The Wizards won the 2013-14 season series against the Bucks 3-1 with two of the four games going into overtime.

Washington is 30-23 (.566) all-time in home openers.

John Wall has tallied two consecutive double-doubles in the first two games of the season, marking the first time he has achieved this feat in his career.

With Wall’s stat line on Thursday night in Orlando, he is just the fourth player in franchise history to record a game with at least 30 points, 12 assists, five rebounds and two steals, joining Gilbert Arenas, Michael Adams and Rod Strickland (2).

Entertainer Wale, will be performing live tonight as part of pregame player introductions. Wale has been announced as the Wizards’ Creative Liaison.
