The Washington Wizards head to Canada today, Friday, for their last preseason game and hopefully a win taking on the Toronto Raptors at the Bell Centre.
Washington is coming off a 110–105 defeat to the Miami Heat in their last preseason game which ended a three-game winning streak.
In the loss to Miami, all five starters for the Wizards scored in double-digits and were led by center Marcin Gortat's double-double performance.
Gortat scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, also having one assist and four blocks in 32 minutes of action.
Following him was another big man in Kris Humphries who also contributed a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, plus two steals.
The Wizards also had offensive contributions from point guard John Wall and forward Otto Porter Jr. who each poured 14 points against the Heat.
Friday's game facing the Raptors will be the last in the Wizards' preseason schedule as they get ready to open the 2015–16 regular season on Oct. 28 taking on the Orlando Magic.
