The Raptors have opened this first quarter with more physicality on defense than they opened with during Thursday night’s game. So far, the Wizards are shooting 4 for 7 from the field, but it’s still clear that they’re facing a more amped-up Raptors defense in this game. – 5:19 PM

Kristaps Porzingis left Capital One Arena a bit gingerly after Thursday’s first win over the Raptors coming back from a hyperextended knee
Looked good in pre-game warmups this afternoon and starts on a personal 7-0 run – 5:15 PM

Nurse said he might experiment with O.G. on Kuzma some today. He mostly was on Beal on Thursday, and essentially, with some help, turned him into a facilitator/diversion. – 4:26 PM

If the Washington Post report incident never happens but Ja Morant posts the video of him with the gun, does any of this happen? Would this had been him just exercising his 2nd Amendment right? – 3:57 PM

Those shooting performances were uncharacteristic for VanVleet and Anunoby. This season, VanVleet and Anunoby are both shooting 39 percent on 3s with the closest defender at least 6 feet away, the NBA’s player-tracking data shows. – 1:02 PM

Something to watch in today’s Raptors-Wizards rematch: how well Fred VanVleet and O.G. Anunoby shoot on wide-open 3s. In Thursday’s convincing Wizards victory, VanVleet and Anunoby each went 1-for-5 on 3-point attempts with the closest defender at least 6 feet away, per the NBA. – 12:59 PM

A reminder for Wizards fans: The home game originally scheduled for Monday, March 6, against the Bucks will be played tomorrow (Sunday, March 5), at 7:30 p.m.
That game was rescheduled to an earlier day because a Wizards game in Detroit had to be postponed and rescheduled. – 12:53 PM
