Wizards vs Raptors Prediction
This game has nothing to do with the Raptors and just how bad the Wizards are. The Wizards continue to pile up the losses, and they’re 10-18 ATS on the season. You just can’t make money on the Wizards. The Raptors have had issues of their own, but they’ve seen 10 of their 18 wins come on the road. The Raptors are also 8-2 SU and ATS in the last 10 games against the Wizards. I simply have little use for the Wizards night to night. Oddsmakers are telling you what they think of them as well. It’s Raptors or pass for me on Friday night.
