And we’re back. After a six-game, 13-day road trip — the longest of the season — from which Toronto escaped with a 3-3 record, the Raptors return home to host the Washington Wizards on Sunday evening.
Aside from being the first home game in two weeks for Toronto, this is the first game in what has become an under-the-radar rivalry since the Wizards dispatched the Raptors with ease in the opening round of the 2015 NBA Playoffs.
Toronto is coming off a great road win in Utah on Friday, which saw DeRozan score 37 points, including some rare long-range treatment, going 3-for-7 from distance, including a 4-point play.
