Every month this season Sarr has gotten better and better. Improved little by little. In December he finished the month averaging a career-best (in a month) with 13.8 points per game. His efficiency really improved going from 40.4% true shooting in October to 56.4% in December.

The other major standout for Washington over the last 11 games has been Poole. He played in nine of the games leading Washington to a 4-5 record while putting up 30 or more points in four games. He is averaging 25.0 points and 4.7 assists per game on 43-41-83 shooting splits as Washington starts to find a groove.

This is the first of back-to-back games between the teams in a home-and-home mini series. The next game is in Washington on Sunday.
