Washington (6:16) – Toronto (13:12) 137: 115
Israeli rookie Danny Abdia is on the bench again, playing for the second time in a row, and this time it was not successful in terms of the Wizards who lost to the Raptors. Abdia got 27 minutes from coach Scott Brooks, scoring 9 points with 3 of 7 from the field (2 of 6 off the arc), adding 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Davis Bartens, who continued to open in his place, also scored 9 points in 28 minutes on the floor and contributed 4 rebounds and 0 assists so it is not clear whether the change Brooks made is really substantial. Bradley Bill led with 24 points, Russell Westbrook added 23 and here – another loss to Washington with Westbrook on the floor. The Raptors were led by Norman Powell with 28 points, Pascal Siakam added 26 and Kyle Laurie 21.
