The Toronto Raptors enter this matchup riding a four-game winning streak and have won six of their last seven games. Led by Scottie Barnes, who has been in stellar form with averages of 20.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, the Raptors are looking to continue their strong run. Jakob Poeltl has also been a key contributor, averaging 14.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Toronto's recent defensive improvements and efficient ball movement have been pivotal in their resurgence.
On the other hand, the Washington Wizards are enduring a tough season, sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 6-39 record. They are currently on a 14-game losing streak and have struggled on both ends of the court. Jordan Poole leads the Wizards with 21.2 points per game, but the team’s defensive woes, allowing a league-high 122.3 points per game, have been a significant issue. The Wizards will need a near-perfect performance to compete with the Raptors.
In their last 10 meetings, the Toronto Raptors have dominated the Washington Wizards, winning eight of those matchups. Last season, the Raptors won three of their four games against the Wizards, including a high-scoring 130-122 victory in their most recent encounter. Historically, Toronto has been the stronger team in this matchup, leveraging their superior depth and defensive discipline to secure victories.
The Toronto Raptors are in excellent form, having won six of their last seven games, while the Washington Wizards are on a 14-game losing streak. Toronto’s balanced attack, led by Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl, should exploit Washington’s defensive vulnerabilities. The Raptors have also covered the spread in seven of their last ten meetings against the Wizards. Given the current form and head-to-head history, Toronto is well-positioned to cover the -7.0 spread.
Barnes has been in exceptional form, averaging over 38 PRA in his last week of play. With Washington’s defensive struggles, Barnes is likely to continue his dominance, making the over a strong pick.
Poeltl has been a force on the boards, averaging 10.4 rebounds per game this season. Against a Wizards team that ranks 30th in defensive rating, Poeltl should have ample opportunities to dominate the glass.
Despite Washington’s struggles, Poole has been a consistent scorer, averaging 21.2 points per game. As the Wizards’ primary offensive option, he is likely to exceed this line in a high-usage role.
