Raptors at Wizards live stream: How to watch online

The Washington Wizards (36-26) will host the Toronto Raptors (43-17) on Thursday night. Here is how to watch this NBA game online.

March marks the beginning of the final quarter of the NBA season. On Friday, the Washington Wizards host the Toronto Raptors at Capital One Arena. Friday’s game could be a potential playoff preview as the Wizards are fourth in the conference while the Raptors are first in the East.

The Wizards have won three of their five games after the All-Star break. However, Washington lost their last game 109-101 to the Golden State Warriors. With John Wall out with a knee injury, Bradley Beal continues to have a career year. The sixth-year guard is averaging 23.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. In the three games against Toronto this season, Beal is averaging 30.6 points per game. However, it could be what Beal does defensively that determines the outcome of Friday’s game. Beal will be primarily responsible for guarding Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan.

The Raptors have won two of their first three games following the All-Star break, winning back to back games against Detroit and Orlando. Toronto’s backcourt of DeRozan and Kyle Lowry are combining for 40.4 points per game as the primary focus of the offense. However, Lowry has struggled this season against Washington. In three games against Washington this season, Lowry has averaged 13.6 points. The Raptors are first in the conference because of the development of their bench. Few teams can match the number of options the Raptors have coming off the bench.
