Raptors 119, Wizards 104

PASS.

The Raptors will easily win and cover here as -800 favorites, but such a high moneyline number is never worth the risk, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

BET RAPTORS -13.5 (-110).

Toronto has covered the spread in 6 of its last 8 games while the Wizards have dropped 3 straight ATS. The Raptors are also 31-28 ATS this season, much better than Washington’s 24-34 ATS mark.

The Wizards look like they may be tanking, so expect the Raptors to pull away with this one early as the Wizards play guys who aren’t accustomed to big NBA minutes.

LEAN UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 6 of Toronto’s last 9 games, including in each of its last 2 road games. The Under is also 36-23 for the Raptors this season. For Washington, the Under has hit in back-to-back games. Lastly, the Under has hit in 4 of the last 5 matchups between these squads that took place in the Nation’s Capital.

This is a lean because Washington’s defense is terrible, so the Raptors could simply have whatever they want and easily find good looks all game.
