The Wizards (32-37) have a solid 5-3 mark over the last eight games, but their most recent defeat knocked them back down to the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference. Washington dropped a 125-124 decision to the same Atlanta Hawks they'll face Wednesday on Monday night, their third one-point contest over the last four games. Rui Hachimura followed Westbrook with 20 points, adding three rebounds and one steal. Robin Lopez provided 18 points, three rebounds and one block. Ish Smith registered 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block. Davis Bertans supplied 15 points, four boards and two assists. Neto poured in 12 points.

The Wizards will continue without Bradley Beal (hamstring) for Wednesday's game.

The Hawks' (38-31) victory over the Wizards was their fourth win in the last five games. Against Washington, Trae Young paced the Hawks with 36 points, complementing them with nine assists and six rebounds. John Collins posted 28 points, eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal. Bogdan Bogdanovic furnished 25 points, five boards, four assists and two steals. Clint Capela generated a 10-point, 22-rebound double-double with one assist and four blocks.

The Hawks will list De'Andre Hunter (rest/knee) and Cam Reddish (Achilles) as out for Wednesday's contest. Tony Snell (Achilles) will be listed as questionable, while Kevin Huerter (hip) will carry a probable tag.

Wednesday's game marks the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Hawks hold a 2-0 series lead, having also notched a 116-100 win Jan. 29 in addition to Monday's victory.
