Raptors are resting VanVleet again tonight. Anunoby remains out but plan is for him to play Sunday in New York. Achiuwa is still questionable. Watanabe is back. The other regulars are active. – 5:47 PM

#Packers would love to find a true WR1 with one of their two 1st-rd picks (22 and 28) — and finally draft a WR in the 1st-rd during the Aaron Rodgers era.
Keep an eye on Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks and Jahan Dotson — all terrific players with immense skill sets. – 3:45 PM

Today’s matchup by the numbers.

Looking to stay hot against New York 🔥
Our 62.3 true shooting percentage against the Knicks is our third-highest against any opponent this season.

No Kristaps Porzingis or Kentavious Caldwell Pope or Kyle Kuzma for the Wizards against the Knicks tonight.
It’s a big game for potential ping pong balls and the Wizards are acting accordingly. – 1:52 PM

I had too many Knicks thoughts left over from the season, so I wrote them all down before it ended.
Story on…
• Toppin’s passing
• A 10-day-old pass
• Quickley’s point guardiness
• RJ vs. switches
And more…
