Toronto Raptors, Wizards to jockey for playoff positioning in crucial two-game set in Washington
The Toronto Raptors visit the Washington Wizards for two consecutive games starting Thursday night in a matchup of teams that occupy the final two Eastern Conference play-in spots.
The Raptors won 104-98 at home over the 11th-place Chicago Bulls on Tuesday behind 20 points from Pascal Siakam. “Big games, yep [but] again, us just trying to really zero in on us,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “I don’t think it matters that much where people are in the standings. I mean, it does because they’re right around us and we are inside 20 games to go or something like that but, again, just trying to get us to play to our capabilities.
On Wednesday, the Raptors sent five players to their G-League affiliate. Canadian guard Dalano Banton, centre Christian Koloko and swingman Joe Wieskamp were all put on assignment to Raptors 905 in Mississauga. Guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. and forward Ron Harper Jr. were both sent to the 905 on their two-way contracts.
