The two losses also drop them to a 16-42 record, guaranteeing them yet another sub. 500 season. The Raptors have also lost three of their last five games, with their most recent loss coming last Wednesday to the San Antonio Spurs. Toronto is 34-25 and comfortably in a guaranteed Top 6 playoff spot. On paper, it\u2019s safe to say that the Wizards will have a difficult time winning this one, but we shall see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards host the Toronto Raptors tonight.
