On December 6th Washington will be at home to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Then on December 8th they will take on the Nets in Brooklyn.

The Wizards have played and lost to both teams already this year including getting blown out by the 76ers and losing a close game to the Nets.

With the Philadelphia coming to town, it will give Wizards fans an extra chance to see reigning MVP Joel Embiid.

So far, the in-season tournament has brought a lot of eyes to the NBA early in the season.
