The San Antonio Spurs finally return to the court after an eight-day break to take on the Washington Wizards on Friday evening.
San Antonio has won three of four since trading Derrick White and replacing his starting spot with Devin Vassell, who's averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in his new role over the last four games. Dejounte Murray is fresh off his first NBA All-Star appearance and was spotted already putting in work at the gym the night he flew back to San Antonio.
The Wizards last played on February 17th, drumming the Brooklyn Nets 117-103 behind a season-high 20 points from Rui Hachimura.
The Spurs have won the last three games against the Wizards, including a 116-99 win on November 29th this season.

San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The last time these teams faced off, Bradley Beal led all Wizards in scoring and assists with 18 points and eight assists. He's now out for the season with a wrist injury. New acquisition Kristaps Porzingis is also not expected to play as he works to return from a knee injury.
At this stage, the Spurs should be able to field the better team, but they'll need to avoid falling into an early hole as has happened often this season.
Opponent Role Player to Watch: Hachimura has scored in double figures in four of the last five games he's played. If Doug McDermott can come close to canceling out his production, that would be huge toward a potential win.
In a season full of inconsistency, I'm going the optimistic route and saying the Spurs sweep the season series.
Spurs 113, Wizards 104
