Injuries Bucks- Marcus Fizer- OUT (Elbow Laceration) TJ Ford- OUT (Neck) Wizards- Kwame Brown- OUT (Ankle) Larry Hughes- OUT (Thumb) Peter John Ramos- OUT (Shoulder) THE SERIES Washington won game 1 of the season series with a Larry Hughes layup at the buzzer 105-103. Matchup to Watch Desmond Mason vs Antawn Jamison Mason: 16.7 PPG 4.2 RPG 2.6 APG 44% FG Jamison: 20.7 PPG 8.3 RPG 2.2 APG 43% FG Prediction The Bucks head to the capital to take on the slumping Wizards. The first meeting was decided by a Hughes layup at the buzzer. The Bucks certainly can win this game. Hughes is out, so Redd gets to go up against Jarvis Hayes. This should be a close game. I'll give the Wizards the slight edge.. Wizards by 3
