|
| |  | TORONTO: GUARDS: KYLE LOWRY is healthy again and will be handed the reigns. He could be the Raptors best player on both ends of the floor . . . As of now, JOSE CALDERON is still on the roster, but he's not long for Toronto with Lowry's arrival. He won't start over Lowry, but he could see decent minutes as the Raptors attempt to showcase him . . . With Toronto's influx of new talent, DeMAR DeROZAN could be marginalized on the offensive end. He hasn't really progressed past the dunker/raw athlete stage of his career . . . Rookie TERRENCE ROSS can just about match DeRozan's athleticism, and while he has no handle, he's a potentially deadly three-point threat . . . JOHN LUCAS III will back up both guard spots . . . ALAN ANDERSON returns as a defensive stopper in the second unit. FORWARDS: ANDREA BARGNANI makes his triumphant return and will likely go back to the perimeter. The Raptors have beefed up in the middle so Bargnani can play outside more . . . LANDRY FIELDS plays enough defense to earn minutes, but it seems like his signing was more a result of Toronto playing cap games to try to land Steve Nash. He'll likely platoon with Terrence Ross . . . ED DAVIS made some strides this offseason, but he's still not where the Raptors want him to be on the offensive end . . . LINAS KLEIZA's knee should be in better shape this season. The Raptors want more shooting, and he has a chance to grab a bigger role . . . Toronto will do everything it can to get out from under AMIR JOHNSON's contract . . . DOMINIC McGUIRE figures to occupy the final seat on the Raptors bench. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS would have been the No. 2 pick of the draft had he come out a year later. He's a wiry, strong athlete who's physical down low with soft touch out to 10 feet. Toronto sees him as a franchise cornerstone who meshes nicely with Bargnani . . . AARON GRAY should provide ample competition for the starting center job. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL hasn't developed much diversity in his offensive game, but he's still really fast and an effective distributor. The improved supporting cast should help him reach the next level, assuming he feels no ill effects from the stress injury in his left knee that will keep him out until late November . . . BRADLEY BEAL is a great shooter, but he can also score off the dribble. Throw in his rebounding ability from the backcourt, and he should contribute in a number of ways as a rookie . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD is a pure scorer, but not an efficient one. He won't be able to hold off Beal for long, if at all . . . A.J. PRICE steps in as Wall's top backup. He'll play limited minutes with the second unit . . . SHELVIN MACK will be battling for a roster spot, most likely with underachieving swingman MARTELL WEBSTER. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA should have no trouble stepping into the starting lineup. He'll at least have a chance to re-find his three-point shot getting drive-and-dish feeds from Wall . . . Nene^ will slide to the four with Emeka Okafor coming in. That means athletic, but raw, JAN VESELY will have to play with the second unit. He can really run the floor, but doesn't help much in the half-court game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a very good screener on offense who holds his own defensively and on the boards. He still has a chance for a handful of starts if Nene^ or Okafor get hurt . . . CHRIS SINGLETON started a lot of games last year, but the defensive specialist will likely spend this season learning behind Ariza . . . CARTIER MARTIN never saw a shot he didn't like. CENTERS: NENE^ had some trouble with plantar fasciitis last year and playing in the Olympics didn't help. If healthy, he has a chance to be Washington's leading scorer . . . EMEKA OKAFOR will start alongside Nene^. He's the fifth-best option on offense, but holds his own defensively . . . KEVIN SERAPHIN has proven he can hold down a starting job. He'll come off the bench but should still have a significant role. |

*Raptors-Wizards Preview* =========================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Toronto (21-32) at Washington (15-36), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Toronto Raptors have made a nice push since Rudy Gay arrived late last month.
They'll need that to continue in the second half if they're going to have any shot of making the postseason for the first time in five seasons.
Back from the All-Star break, the Raptors will try to win three straight on the road for the first time in five seasons on Tuesday night when they face the improving Washington Wizards for the first time in 2012-13.
Since he was acquired from Memphis on Jan. 30 in a three-team deal, Gay is averaging 20.7 points and has hit two game-winning shots to help the Raptors (21-32) win five of seven. Toronto will likely need Gay to keep producing at that level if it's going to improve from the 10th spot in the East - the team is six back of eighth-place Milwaukee. However, a 92-88 road win over the Atlantic Division-leading New York Knicks on Wednesday before the break has to give the Raptors confidence that they can compete without the star forward at his best.
Gay missed 17 of 21 shots and scored just 11 points, but reserve Alan Anderson hit a career-best six 3-pointers with 26 points, while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 20.
"It feels good, the fact that my teammate Double-A stepped up. And DeMar does what DeMar does," Gay said. "But on a night where I couldn't throw a fish in the water, it feels good to still get a win."
The Raptors begin the second half tied with the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Clippers for the second-longest current winning streak in the NBA. Miami has seven consecutive victories.
Washington (15-36), winner of 10 of 18 since John Wall returned from an offseason knee injury, was hoping to enter the All-Star break on a season-best five-game winning streak, but the team ended the first half on Wednesday with a 96-85 loss at Detroit.
"We just didn't do the things we've been doing in the last few games," swingman Trevor Ariza said after the Wizards were outscored by 14 in the final 12 minutes. "We didn't take care of our business, and we let this one slip away."
The Wizards, though, begin a stretch of six of seven at home - they play at Toronto on Monday - on a 3-0 stretch in the nation's capital. Washington has dropped just one game in its last nine at home.
The Wizards have won four in a row at home over Toronto, including both last season when each team protected its home court. The visiting team in this series has lost nine straight.
The Raptors could end that trend - and win three in a row outside Toronto for the first time since Dec. 11-18, 2007 - if they can contain Wall and rookie guard Bradley Beal, who has totaled 41 points and hit 5 of 10 3s in three games since missing five with a sprained right wrist.
Beal's strong play, as well as Wall's return, has virtually taken Jordan Crawford out of coach Randy Wittman's rotation. It's uncertain if Crawford, who averaged 19.1 points, 6.1 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 13 December games, will make his first appearance in four contests, or if he'll be with the team much longer with Thursday's trade deadline looming.
