Wizards vs Raptors Prediction
You’d think the Wizards would have the edge at home with the rest advantage, but they’re back to not playing much defense and have lost six of their last eight games. The Raptors still compete most nights, and they did beat the Wizards two weeks ago by 15 points. The Raptors have won seven of the last 10 games against the Wizards overall.
The Raptors are also 42-28-1 ATS on the season, which makes them the third-most profitable team in the NBA. Two teams that have nothing to play for at this stage, but it’s the Raptors that still show a willingness to compete most nights. Even on the end of a back-to-back, I’ll lay the bucket with the Raptors.
