NBCSW will broadcast video game simulations of Wizards and Capitals games

The NBA and NHL seasons, which were suspended last week because of the novel coronavirus outbreak, will resume — in video game form — in the coming days. Monumental Sports Network and NBC Sports Washington announced Friday that they will broadcast hour-long simulations of the Wizards’ and Capitals’ previously scheduled regular season games using NBA 2K20 and NHL 20, respectively.
The first of 13 Wizards simulations will air Saturday at 7 p.m., when Washington was scheduled to host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Eastern Conference-leading Bucks at Capital One Arena. Instead, computer-controlled Bradley Beal will look to lead an upset against computer-controlled Milwaukee. The matchups will be televised on NBC Sports Washington and streamed on its authenticated platforms, as well as on MonumentalSportsNetwork.com and its available apps.
The first of seven Capitals simulations will debut Tuesday, when Washington was scheduled to face the St. Louis Blues in a matchup of the past two Stanley Cup champions.
