John Wall seeking revenge as Rockets ready for Wizards
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall said he wants revenge against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
Wall, of course, spent the first nine years of his career with the Wizards before being traded to Houston this past offseason. "[There are] a lot of people on that side that probably didn't believe I could come back to be the person I am," Wall said. "Who wouldn't want to beat the team that traded them and felt like I was done? ... That's just my motivation there. They thought I was done. Basically, that's how I feel. This is my opportunity to show them that I'm not done." Wall was limited to 20.7 minutes on Saturday in his return from a five-game absence but he shouldn't have any restrictions on Tuesday against his former employer. The 30-year-old guard has displayed an impressive ceiling this year with a pair of 28-point games. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00pm ET.
numberFire’s models project Wall for 42.2 FanDuel points versus the Wizards and he has a salary of $7,700 on Tuesday's slate. The Wizards are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season.
