The 2018 NBA Playoffs are finally upon us. 82 regular season games have come and gone in what feels like the blink of an eye. As the Eastern Conference’s first seed, the Raptors have a large target on their back. Toronto has dealt with critics and naysayers all season long and the Postseason will offer the team another chance to prove everyone wrong.

A familiar foe awaits the Raptors in the opening round. Washington is a team that Toronto faced four times this season. The Wizards have also given the Raptors are hard time in Playoffs of the past.

Although they are the number eight seed, the Wizards still pose a formidable threat. They have their own “big three” in John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Otto Porter Jr.
