Storylines, Where to Watch, Injuries, & Betting Info For Raptors Preseason at Wizards

The Toronto Raptors will hit the road for their final preseason game against the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. ET.

It certainly isn't going to be a pretty game. Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby will both sit out the final preseason game as Raptors coach Nick Nurse tries to get a long look at some of the players on partially guaranteed deals.
It will, however, be a big game for those players fighting for roster spots, and with the pandemic still lingering that depth is going to be very important this season. Khem Birch, for example, tested positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.
Strategically, I wouldn't expect the Raptors to show anything all that complicated. Not only will they be without their best players, but Toronto plays Washington again to open the season on October 20th and Nurse isn't going to want the Wizards to see what he's got planned.

Sportsnet 360 will be broadcasting the game.

Pascal Siakam, Chris Boucher, and Yuta Watanabe will all miss the game with injuries. VanVleet and Anunoby are both out with rest.

For the Wizards, Rui Hachimura, Cassius Winston, and Thomas Bryant are all out.

The Raptors can be found anywhere from -2.5 to -3 point favorites. The total for the game is 223.5.
