Raptors vs Wizards Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
TOR Raptors -14.0(-110)

With an 18-10 ATS/SU record on the road this season the Toronto Raptors have made a name for themselves as one of the elite away teams in the NBA. The schedule hasn’t been kind to them in their last two games, pinning them against the OKC Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, resulting in back-to-back home losses. The good news is they get a fairly easy game against the Wizards on Saturday as they try to bounce back. The season series is tied at 1-1, but with the current situation the Wizards are in right now you have to like the Raptors’ chances here. They’ve won 12 of 16 meetings, while covering in 7 of 9. When it comes to road games in Washington they are also 5-1 ATS in 6 such games.

The Wizards showed life by winning their first two games out of the break, but then proceeded to drop the next 3 by 17, 21 and 30 points. The state of this team isn’t good at all, they’ve given up on the season a long time ago, refusing to play their two big mid-season acquisitions Trae Young and Anthony Davis. Washington is among the teams that are currently tanking, hoping to get a high draft pick and starting over fresh next year. Their record of 2-6 SU/ATS over the past 8 games is an indicator of things to come on Saturday. They’ve covered in just 2 of 15 games vs Atlantic Division opponents, only the Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz have a worse defensive efficiency rating this season.

The only thing that could prevent the Raptors from winning big here is if they take this game lightly, I’m hoping they don’t do that. They’ve dominated far better opponents on the road this season, as favorites this team is 22-13 SU in 35 games overall. Unlike the Wizards they are pretty much at full strength here, I have them wining this one comfortably.
