KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season.
TORONTO: GUARDS: KYLE LOWRY was banged up last season, but he enters this year healthy and has the potential to be one of the league's best two-way point guards . . . DEMAR DEROZAN does a nice job attacking, but he's a flawed player unless he develops a jump shot . . . The Raptors want TERRENCE ROSS to attack the basket more often. But whether he develops a three-point shot could determine where he fits into this rotation . . . After a disastrous season in Indiana, D.J. AUGUSTIN will have to earn his rotation spot. Toronto could use his shooting, though . . . DWIGHT BUYCKS comes back from Europe to back up Lowry . . . Versatile JULYAN STONE is an interesting bit piece, as he reunites with GM Masai Ujiri, who brought him to Denver. FORWARDS: Despite all that talent, RUDY GAY's poor shot selection and disinterested defense will have him on the trading block . . . AMIR JOHNSON will get another chance at full-time minutes. Despite some inconsistency, he still has the upside to be a good rebounder and shot-blocker . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH brings toughness and a decent mid-range jumper. He's a second-unit talent, but could challenge Johnson for minutes . . . LANDRY FIELDS is a well-compensated reserve . . . STEVE NOVAK gives them a legitimate shooter among the second unit . . . Toronto will try to shake some of that upside out of AUSTIN DAYE . . . QUINCY ACY will move to the three, likely making this a redshirt year. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS is set to become Toronto's new centerpiece. Talented enough for them to run the offense through him, he's rapidly improving on both ends of the court . . . AARON GRAY will stick around as a decent back-up, a 7-footer who can get in the way defensively.

*Wizards-Raptors Preview* =========================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer

Washington (29-28) at Toronto (32-25), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Coach Dwane Casey has the Toronto Raptors in solid position to make the playoffs for the first time in six seasons, but he realizes it's only going to get tougher down the stretch.

The Washington Wizards are looking to end a similar postseason drought, though they'll have to play the next six weeks without one of their top frontcourt contributors.

Toronto hasn't had much trouble with Washington even when Nene has been in the lineup, and it will look to sweep the four-game season series Thursday night in Canada.

The Raptors (32-25) lead the Atlantic Division and have won six of seven after beating Cleveland 99-93 on Tuesday. They haven't qualified for the playoffs since 2007-08, but they currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

DeMar DeRozan scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter and made a key steal in the final minute. Terrence Ross finished with 19 points and Greivis Vasquez added 15 off the bench.

"DeMar was huge down the stretch," Casey said. "He made shots, he made plays, he made some free throws."

Toronto led by as many as 14 in the first half before Cleveland stormed back to take a one-point lead in the third. Casey said those types of breakdowns won't be as easy to overcome as the season progresses.

"We're nowhere near where we can walk in a game and expect to win," Casey said. "All of our games are grind it out. We're going to see everyone's best haymaker."

The Raptors have won the first three meetings with the Wizards by an average of 10.3 points, including a 103-93 victory Feb. 18. Kyle Lowry finished with 24 points and 10 assists in that contest, while DeRozan added 14.

Nene finished with 17 points for Washington, but he suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's win over Cleveland and won't be suiting up anytime soon.

He was out Tuesday against Orlando, but Washington had no trouble finding enough offense. John Wall (27 points), Trevor Ariza (22), Marcin Gortat (21) and Bradley Beal (21) became the first four Wizards to eclipse 20 points in the same game since April 6, 2010, as Washington won 115-106 to push its winning streak to a season-high four.

"If you're an All-Star, you've got to step up and take on a bigger role," Wall said. "I really have to step up to another level with Nene being out."

Washington (29-28) is in fifth place in the East as it looks to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08, but it's just 9-34 without Nene since he was acquired during the 2011-12 season.

The Wizards signed Drew Gooden to a 10-day contract to provide frontcourt depth, and the veteran of nine NBA teams is expected to be in uniform for this contest.

They'll also look to Gortat to play a bigger role in Nene's absence.

"I automatically tried to put myself in the situation to score," said Gortat, who has averaged 16.4 points and 11.2 rebounds since the All-Star break. "I yell to John. Sometimes he's going to yell back at me, then I would just say, `Hey, Nene's not here.' This is what I've got to do to lead this team, help this team inside, and I'm going to run to the block and demand the ball, and I believe I'm capable of doing it."

Gortat had 18 points and 11 rebounds in the last meeting with Toronto, while Wall finished with 22 despite going 0 for 7 from the field in the second half.

The Raptors have won seven of the last eight home matchups with the Wizards.
