TIP INS

Wizards: Anthony Gill added 12 points and made both of his 3-point attempts in 19 minutes of play.

Nets: Coach Steve Nash is not quite sure whether Joe Harris will step back on the court following the All-Star break. “It’s possible but couldn’t say for sure though right now,” the Brooklyn coach said prior to the game. Harris has been sidelined since Nov. 14 when he injured his left ankle and had arthroscopic surgery Nov. 29. … Mills made five 3s to move into fourth place for most 3-pointers made in a single-season with 186. He surpassed Harris, who had 183 from long distance during the 2018-19 season.
