The Raptors season has been unimpressive to say the least. Toronto sits fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference and they re coming off blowing a double-digit fourth quarter lead to the Jazz on Saturday. Tonight they ll have a favourable chance at getting back in the win column against a Wizards team that s only won five games this season. Wes Cheng has more.
Joel Embiid played through an ankle injury to push his 30-10 streak to 13 games, finishing with 31 points, 10 rebounds and one assist shy of a triple-double to lead the Sixers to a win Friday night. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey each had 33 points for Philadelphia. Pascal Siakam led the Raptors with 31 points.
The Raptors are falling further and further away from .500 on the season as they welcome the Hornets to town. The matchup might just be what Toronto needs to turn things around, as Charlotte has dropped four straight since beating the Raps at home 10 days ago. Jack Armstrong joins Matt Devlin to preview the action.
