The Wizards won’t get as many national TV appearances as they did last season, but they’ll be a part of the league’s opening week festivities.
The NBA announced on Wednesday afternoon that the Wizards will host the Raptors on Saturday, October 20 at 7 pm Eastern Time that will be broadcast on NBA TV. It will be both teams’ first national TV appearance of the season.
Though this will be a rematch of their meeting in the first round of the 2018 playoffs, this game will look quite a bit different than the last time these two tangled at Capital One Arena back in late April.
