The Toronto Raptors will look to snap a three-game skid Wednesday night when they hit the road to take on the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and The FAN 590 will broadcast for Toronto. Monumental Sports Network and The Team 980 will call the game for Washington.

What to Watch For

  • At this point, it's hard to call any game a winnable game for the Raptors but Washington sits as the league's third-worst team entering Wednesday and will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The loss to Utah was tough, this would be a much much worse loss.
  • Toronto has had a few days off to regroup over Christmas and the hope is the team will come back reinvigorated. The Raptors are going to have to come back with a new energy and focus, especially early in games.
  • It doesn't sound like the Raptors will be making a change to their starting lineup, but Toronto is still looking to find a stable rotation. Scottie Barnes has seen a little more playing time as the team's lead and lone point guard in lineups and that might continue with Dennis Schröder and Malachi Flynn struggling.
  • OG Anunoby's defense has slipped a little lately but expect him to get the Kyle Kuzma assignment against Washington. If Toronto can slow Kuzma and Jordan Poole, there's not much firepower left on that lackluster Wizards squad.

Injury Reports

Toronto will be without Christian Koloko and Garrett Temple.

Washington has yet to announce its injury report.

Game Odds

The Raptors are -7.5 point favorites with an implied win probability of 73%. The total for the game is 238.5.
