As trade speculation rages, the Warriors will spend a couple hours Monday chasing their first consecutive wins in 2020 against a Washington Wizards team that has been utilizing one of the smallest starting lineups in NBA history.

Pregame coverage on NBC Sports Bay Area begins at 3 p.m. PT, with tipoff scheduled for 4:10 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
The Warriors (11-39), snapped a five-game losing streak with a 131-112 victory over the Cavaliers on Saturday in Cleveland, have not experienced back-to-back wins since beating the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day and the Phoenix Suns two days later.

Their cause on Monday might be impacted by the availability of leading scorer D’Angelo Russell, who will miss the game with a right quad contusion. The Warriors are 3-15 when D-Lo is out of the lineup.

The Wizards (17-31) have started each of their last two games with a three-guard lineup surrounding 6-foot-11 center Ian Mahinmi and 6-8, 180-pound “power forward” Isaac Bonga. The guards were 6-5 Bradley Beal, 6-2 Gary Payton II and 5-9 Isaiah Thomas.

Though the lineup has been successful -- Washington won both games -- the return of 6-11 Moe Wagner (VOG-ner) and 6-8 230-pound Rui Hachimura could lead to a lineup change.
