The Raptors are 18-10 away from Canada but enter Saturday riding a two-game home losing streak. Given one of the tougher tasks in a back-to-back, Toronto fell to Oklahoma City and San Antonio on consecutive nights.
Toronto won't be squaring off with a future postseason team Saturday. The Wizards have lost three straight and own the league's fourth-worst record (16-42). Washington finds itself in a familiar situation, as the team is in play for a third straight 60-loss season.
The Wizards dropped a pair of lopsided games to the Atlanta Hawks, with leading scorer Alex Sarr (17.2 ppg) out with a right hamstring strain and Kyshawn George (14.8 ppg) missing Thursday's 126-96 loss with a knee contusion. George is questionable for Saturday's game.

The Lakers come in looking to snap a three-game losing skid, which has put them in a precarious spot in the West's postseason picture. With Thursday's 113-110 loss at Phoenix, Los Angeles sits in sixth place, just one game ahead of the Suns for the final guaranteed playoff berth.
Thursday's setback was the team's second straight by one score, coming on the heels of a 110-109 defeat on Tuesday against Orlando.
Clutch time is beginning to creep from a game-to-game scenario into the overall theme with 24 games remaining in the Lakers' regular season.
They are part of a five-team bottleneck in the conference, with just three wins separating third-place Houston -- which is tied with Denver and Minnesota in the win column -- from seventh-place Phoenix.
Golden State looms in eighth place, three wins behind Los Angeles and Phoenix and 3.5 and 2.5 games back of the two overall. The Warriors are 2-2 since returning from the All-Star break with wildly divergent results.
