Chris Bosh is expected to sit out his second game in a row but that's clearly not a problem since Rasho Nesterovic can adequately fill in for him, as we saw last night. It feels weird to be watching the Raptors on Saturday night instead of Sunday afternoon, doesn't it?
Start time: 7:00pm ET
Channel: CBC
Liveblog: theScore.com with James Borbath
Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Jarrett Jack, DeMar DeRozan, Hedo Turkoglu, Andrea Bargnani, Rasho Nesterovic
Washington: Randy Foye, Mike Miller, Josh Howard, Andray Blatche, Javale McGee
Five questions
1. Are the Wizards better off without Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood? They've won their last two games, including a 10-point win over the Nuggets last night.
2. Will Andrea Bargnani be more involved in the offence tonight? He only had nine field goal attempts in 33 minutes last night.
3. Can the Raptors make the most of the last "easy" game for a while? Their next four games are against the Blazers, Cavs, Thunder and Rockets.
4. Can Rasho handle the length and athleticism of Javale McGee? With just 22.5 minutes per game in his two starts since the Haywood trade, McGee has averaged 11.5 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
5. Do you think the only reason Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said that Gilbert Arenas is "part of this organization and he's under contract and if he wants to play, this is the place where he's going to play" is because he couldn't find another team to trade for him and he can't void his contract?
