Wizards at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 117, Wizards 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Wizards have been awful on the road, making their +320 moneyline value not worth the risk. Toronto at -405 is too expensive to play here as a home favorite.

Avoid the moneyline and look elsewhere.

Against the spread

LEAN WIZARDS +9 (-110).

The Wizards have been able to hang with opponents away from home. They are 3-2 ATS over their last 5 road games and will battle a Raptors team that isn't used to being a favorite, much less a favorite of this many points.

Toronto is 0-1 ATS as a favorite of more than 5 points this season. It has lost 5 of its last 8 games and is just 3-4 ATS over its last 7. The Raptors are the better side, but they aren't almost double figures better.

Back WIZARDS +9 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Raptors have gone Over in 3 of their last 5 and have scored 123 or more in 2 of their last 3 games. While they don't have an ultra-efficient offense, the tempo should force them into more attempts.

The Wizards sit 1st in pace and are 7-1 O/U this season. They have allowed 115 or more in 6 of their last 7 games. Their defense is awful, and they play at a high tempo.

Combine the 2, and Washington should allow points on the board. It has also scored 117 or more in 3 of its last 4. Given the trends, take OVER 228.5 (-110).
