INDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Indiana Pacers hope to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season and extend their home winning streak to 11 games tonight when they host the Washington Wizards.

The Pacers had reeled off a season-high seven straight victories before their modest skid. Austin Croshere scored a career-high 22 points before fouling out in the final minute and Travis Best matched his season high with 20 for Indiana in Sunday's 116-113 loss at Sacramento.

Indiana has lost back-to-back games for the first time since November 22-25 and has not dropped three straight since last March during the lockout-shortened season. The Pacers boast a 13-2 mark in their first season at Conseco Fieldhouse and have not lost here since a 107-99 defeat to Detroit on November 25.

Washington bounced back from a trio of devastating losses with Tuesday's 117-89 dismantling of Toronto.

Aaron Williams scored a season-high 17 points off the bench to lead seven players in double figures as the Wizards snapped their three-game losing streak with a terrific team effort against the Raptors.

Washington had suffered back-to-back losses to the league-worst Chicago Bulls before a heartbreaking 130-129 double-overtime loss at Cleveland on Saturday.

The Wizards have lost eight in a row to the Pacers, including a 105-83 setback in their first visit here on November 13.
