Wizards vs Raptors Prediction
The Washington Wizards are going nowhere fast, as they haven’t won a game since New Year’s Day, and they’ve failed to cover six of their last 10 games despite being big underdogs nightly. The Toronto Raptors are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and it’s not a coincidence they’ve won six of their last seven games. The Raptors have also covered seven of their last nine games. The Raptors are now 27-18-1 ATS on the season, making them a top-five cover team in the NBA. The Raptors still have a ways to go before they can start eyeing a spot in the play-in tournament, but Toronto is healthy and hot. I’m not stepping in front of them for the Wizards. Give me the Raptors in a blowout road win.
