The Toronto Raptors will have a chance to make it two straight victories Sunday night when they return home to take on the Washington Wizards at 6 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will broadcast for Toronto. Monumental Sports Network 2 and TheTeam 980 will call the game for Washington.

What to Watch For

  • This game likely won't matter much for lottery seeding and there's therefore essentially no reason to tank Sunday night. Toronto is coming off an impressive victory over the Milwaukee Bucks and has a chance to finish the season strong with another victory or two. Considering how rough it has been lately, a two-game winning streak would certainly be welcomed.
  • Having Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett back has given the Raptors a competitive offense once again. The two were stellar Friday night playing alongside Gary Trent Jr. and that should continue against the Wizards who have ranked 28th in the NBA in defense this year.
  • With five games to go in the season, this will be one of the last opporunities for Toronto's depth pieces to prove something ahead of the offseason. None of them has really stood out so far, but it likely won't take much to draw attention for a back-of-the-bench spot ahead of next season.

Injury Report

Trent and Bruce Brown Jr. are listed as questionable to play. Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Chris Boucher, DJ Carton, and Jontay Porter all remain out for Toronto.

Washington has listed Kyle Kuzma and Richaun Holmes as questionable. Bilal Coulibaly, Mavin Bagley III, Tyus Jones, and Landry Shamet are all out.

Game Odds

The Raptors are -4.5 point favorites with an implied win probability of 65.5%. The total for the game is 231.5.
