The Bottom Line

The Wizards are faced with yet another significant game that they need to win. The Wizards must rely heavily on Kristaps Porzingis as Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma remain out due to injury. They also must lean upon their young core of role players with Johnny Davis, Jordan Goodwin, and Corey Kispert. Defense must be played well. Will Barton may get extended playing time due to injuries on the Raptors side. Scottie Barnes is listed as doubtful. If he isn’t able to play, look for the Raptors to go deep into their bench to make up for his missed production. The Wizards must guard the three point line.
