Pregame notes
Wizards come back home to face the Toronto Raptors for a post-Christmas tilt in DC. The Raptors, 18-13, have had a strong start to the season. After already beating the Wizards in their first matchup, the Raptors are looking to win this one and take the season series.
The Wizards got back Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III on Tuesday but still were outmatched by the Hornets. Washington has struggled lately having a healthy squad these past few weeks. With Cam Whitmore being announced to be out indefinitely, the Wizards will be down another player for some time.
This game will be about Wizards continuing to develop their young core and getting consistency from them. Can Bub Carrington continue to play well? Can Kyshawn George have a bounce back game after a bad game in Charlotte? And can the Wizards make it a game against the upstart Raptors? All these questions and more will make Friday night’s matchup, one to watch.
