Anunoby and Poeltl led the Raptors with 26 and 23 points, respectively, as both players logged effective field goal percentages of 68.8% or higher in Toronto's 119-108 road loss to Washington on Thursday. The Raptors' offense was remarkably balanced as eight players posted usage rates between 15.9% and 22.9%. Gary Trent Jr. played just 17.7 minutes off the bench, and VanVleet shot two-for-11 from three as Toronto shot nine-for-33 (27.3%) from downtown.

Kuzma led the Wizards with 30 points on 37.3% usage; Porzingis was second on the team with 25 points on a 22.9% clip. Washington's forwards could repeat their success against a Raptors team that has allowed the second-most made field goals per game (31.0) to opposing forwards.
