This is a rematch of the game from January 10th in DC where Washington secured it's first victory of the season.

DeRozan is still looking to capitalize on his mini break out 2nd half of the season last year, but continues to be very inconsistent.

Wizards’ Nick Young shrugs off poor start with late flurry
Nick Young used to be a player who would miss his first few shots, then sulk through the rest of the game. If he started cold, he stayed cold and could never move on.
But he has matured plenty since becoming a regular starter and has routinely used sluggish starts as a challenge to have heroic finishes. His latest example was on Wednesday in Orlando, where Young spent most of the...

Unfortunately for the Washington Wizards, their road mark is identical.
Bargnani likely will be out when Toronto seeks its fourth straight home victory over Washington on Friday night.
