(NBA.com Washington Wizards)

The 2018-19 season has officially arrived for the Washington Wizards. On Thursday night, the Wizards host the Heat to open up the new season. John Wall and Bradley Beal lead Washington against a Miami team that always plays hard. The Wizards bring back most of their core from a year ago, with notable additions Dwight Howard, Austin Rivers, and Jeff Green. On the other side, the Heat have just about the exact same roster as a year ago, despite some injuries.
