It’s the matchup we’ve been waiting five months for! Well, not really — no one really wants to watch the Washington Wizards — but it is kinda weird that we’re 63 games into the season and the Toronto Raptors have yet to play the former Bullets! The teams haven’t played against each other since January of 2022!!
It’s a quirk of the schedule that after 13.5 months, these two teams will play three times this month (including again on Saturday), but given where the teams are in the standings, these games actually matter.
