Wizards vs Raptors prediction
The Raptors are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but that doesn't matter to me. The Raptors have won just two games since February 28 and aren't even trying to win at this stage as they hope to land a top-5 pick. Yes, the Wizards have issues of their own and could be down Kuzma due to an ankle injury. Still, if forced to pick between two bad teams, give me the side that's getting points. The Wizards did beat the Raptors a couple of weeks ago by three points. It's Wizards or pass for me.
