Sim Life with ‘NBA Live 19’: Thunder at Wizards, Timberwolves at Warriors

TGIF, NBA Live 19 fans. This week comes to an end with a star-studded doubleheader on ESPN (8 p.m. Eastern time). First, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder head to Washington, D.C., to face John Wall’s Wizards, who desperately need a win. Then the defending champion Golden State Warriors welcome the dysfunctional Minnesota Timberwolves to a splash party at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

THUNDER AT WIZARDS

Top things to 👀

• Dwight Howard is back. Washington is 1-6 on the season without its starting center. He’s expected to make his season debut.

• The ESPN Matchup Predictor is giving Washington a 57.1 percent chance to get the W.

• Russell Westbrook vs. John Wall.

Thunder 117, wizards 91

This game wasn’t even close, as the Thunder led by as many as 31 points en route to an easy road win.

Westbrook won his battle with Wall.

Howard’s debut didn’t prevent another L, but he did lead the Wizards with a team-high 20 points.

TIMBERWOLVES AT WARRIORS

• It’s been a pretty good week for Stephen Curry.

Another blowout: Curry continued to build on his strong MVP résumé, finishing with a game-high 39 points.
