Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards have been in decent shape lately as they’ve won four of their last six games overall. They will be aiming for a rare third straight victory after outlasting the Raptors in a thrilling 118-117 road win on Saturday. Jordan Poole drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 34 points on 12 of 20 shooting, Bilal Coulibaly added 18 points with 10 rebounds and four assists while Richaun Holmes chipped in with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists off the bench. As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line as they poured in 69 points in the first half to build a 13-point lead. This proved to be just enough to hold off the Raptors who cut the lead to just one point before the clock expired. The Wizards will meet the Pistons (b2b) and Nuggets after this game.
Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors were starting to heat up with three wins in a row before they got stopped by the Wizards in a tough loss on Saturday. RJ Barrett led the team with 23 points, nine rebounds, and three assists, Jakob Poeltl added 21 points with five rebounds and five assists while Scottie Barnes chipped in with 18 points, four assists, and four steals. As a team, the Raptors shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 26 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 39 points in the first quarter. But they couldn’t maintain that pace and just left themselves too much ground to make up after falling behind by 13 points late in the third quarter. AJ Lawson had a rough game as he shot just two of 11 from the field for his seven points while Scottie Barnes shot just four of 16 from the field. The Raptors will face the 76ers following this one.

Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Wizards are still missing a bunch of players including Khris Middleton, Malcolm Brogdon ,and Marcus Smart, while the Raptors will again be without Jakob Poeltl and Ochai Agbaji for this one. It’s hard to pick between two rebuilding teams in tank mode, especially when both teams are actually starting to win games. Both teams have injured players, but they’re also resting players, which just lets you know what this game means to them. This is a game I would rather stay away from, but if I had to choose, I would lean towards the Raptors to get their revenge in this spot.
