Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Washington Wizards, especially on the end of a back to back, but I’m not laying big chalk with the Raptors. The Toronto Raptors haven’t done anything consistent this season, and now they’ve lost 3 straight games. The Raptors just lost at home to the Jazz, and now you want me to lay 7 points with them on the road? No dice. The Raptors have also failed to cover 8 of their last 10 games. Give me the Wizards and the free buckets.
