The Raptors visit Washington, where the locals are off to a rocky start. Will Toronto take advantage of their disarray and inability to score?

The Toronto Raptors finally hit the road, meeting the Washington Wizards in the American capital. The Raptors were fortunate to escape with a win against the Nuggets on Monday night, while the Wizards haven’t any victories at all, lucky or otherwise.

The Skinny

The Wizards don’t seem like a team to me. Their new coach is Scott Brooks, who’s an improvement over Randy Wittman, but they still lack a piece or two.
