Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Main Match Info

Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Moneyline Prediction

The Raptors are massive favourites to get the win here, and there’s plenty of statistical evidence to support that claim. The most notable is the fact that Toronto have been outstanding defensively all season long, ranking in the top 10 in defensive rating, while the Wizards have struggled at that end. 

Furthermore, Washington have the second-worst net rating (-13.3) in the NBA over their last 10 outings.

Even though the Raptors have lost the last two games, they should be able to bounce back in this road matchup. They have been solid away from home this season with an 18-10 road record, while the Wizards have been dreadful in front of their own fans, posting just an 11-19 record at Capital One Arena. 

Washington are also coming off a 30-point defeat against the Atlanta Hawks and have lost three in a row. 

They should cruise to a victory here not only because they’re better on paper, but also because they’ll be facing a depleted Wizards team that will be without some of their best players.

Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Player Prop

The Raptors should win this game with ease, and if that happens, Brandon Ingram should be one of the team’s go-to threats on offence. 

The star forward scored 20 points in the loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, and he’s routinely moved around the 20-point line in recent contests, including three of his last four appearances.

Furthermore, he’s averaging 21.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game since the beginning of February, shooting 45.9 per cent from the floor and 40.5 per cent from three-point range. 

With the Wizards being sloppy defensively at best while posting a 119.6 defensive rating (the fifth-worst mark in the NBA) in the last 10 encounters, Ingram should be in line for a productive outing.

Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Same Game Parlay

Our three-leg parlay not only backs the Raptors to win here, but they should do so while covering the 5.5-point spread. Toronto will be at full strength, while the Wizards will be depleted on both ends of the court and should have a hard time slowing the Raptors. Any outcome that’s not a comfortable win for the Canadian side would be a surprise.

We’re pairing that outcome with the potential of a high-scoring affair. The previous head-to-head meeting ended in a 138-117 win for the Wizards, and while the Raptors are heavily favoured to win this time around, there should be plenty of points scored. 

Washington aren’t exactly a top-tier defensive unit, and given how depleted they are, Toronto should feast on them with relative ease.

Last but not least, we’re adding a prop on Scottie Barnes to the mix. The star forward is a threat both as a scorer and rebounder, and he should be able to post a full line in a game where he’s set to have a key offensive role. 

Barnes has failed to hit the line of at least 25.5 points + rebounds in his last four appearances, but this outing looks like a solid bounce-back opportunity for him.

Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Team News

Washington Wizards Team News

The Wizards are extremely shorthanded in terms of depth since they’ll be missing several players due to injury. The list includes Trae Young (knee), Kyshawn George (knee), Alex Sarr (hamstring), Anthony Davis (finger), and Cam Whitmore (shoulder). None of these players will be able to suit up for Saturday’s contest.

Toronto Raptors Team News

The Raptors are at full strength ahead of this contest. Jakob Poeltl is back from his injury woes, and Scottie Barnes, who also missed a game earlier this month due to personal problems, is also back. This means Toronto will be able to play their strongest lineup in this road matchup while hoping to end their losing streak.
