Wizards at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 125, Wizards 105
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no need to pay the higher price on Raptors (-450) moneyline when Toronto should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS -8.5 (-112).
Toronto is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games after a win and 7-1 ATS in its last 8 at home. The Raptors are sitting at 9th in the Eastern Conference and should build an early lead Sunday to secure the very probable win. The Wizards are too shorthanded to be competitive in this matchup and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.
Over/Under
BET OVER 221.5 (-108).
The Over is 7-2 in Washington’s last 9 games after a win by more than 10 points and 13-3 in Toronto’s last 16 when in the same situation.
The Over has hit in 4 of Toronto’s last 5 home games and Sunday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase as Toronto blows out the shorthanded Wizards at Scotiabank Arena.
