Basketball Wagering – Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizrards
Our Sportsbooks: A pair of Eastern Conference rivals square off tonight when the (24-19) Toronto Raptors invade the Verizon Center to take on the (23-19) Washington Wizards. Toronto currently sits 10.5-games in back of the Atlantic Division leading Boston Celtics, while the Wizards currently sit just 3-games in back of the Southeast Division leading Orlando Magic. The Raptors come in at an even .500 on the road this season (11-11 SU) and have covered the spread in 50% of those games (11-10-1 ATS). The wizards have been a winning proposition at home this season going 14-8 (64%) both SU and ATS.
The Raptors haven’t laced ‘em up since January 25th vs. Milwaukee, but that game saw them unleash their assault to the tune of a 106-75 beatdown. That effort came just a day after they went into Boston and upset the division leaders by a 114-112 final count as 8.5-point road underdogs. Overall, Toronto has won and covered 7 of their L/10 overall match-ups.
Last we saw the Wizards, they lost a tough one in Milwaukee in overtime 105-102. It was their second straight road defeat and the loss allowed the Bucks to avenge the 101-77 beatdown they dished out the last time they visited the Bradley Center back in early January. It was their 2nd loss in their L/3 games, but they’ve won and covered 6 of their L/10 overall.
The Wizards won their lone meeting with Toronto this season at home back on December 1st. The 101-97 final saw Washington cover the 2.5-point spread and the ‘Total’ go over the closing number of 195. Washington has won and covered 6 of the L/8 meetings in our nations capital against the guys from north of the border, but the Raptors did pick up a SU win there last season when they upended the Wizards 123-118 in overtime.
Oddsmakers tagged the Wizards 2.5-point home chalks with the ‘Total’ set at 192.5. Overnight bettors expect Toronto to put forth a good showing since the line now currently sits Washington (-1’) at BetUS. They also expect a higher scoring game since the ‘Total’ now sits at 194 at BetUS. The Raptors are a combined 21-16 (57%) ATS on the road vs. +.500 non-divisional Eastern Conference opponents, while the Wizards come in a combined 25-13 (66%) ATS at home vs. +.500 non-divisional Eastern Conference opponents. This series has seen the favorite cash in 8 of the L/10 match-ups, and the home team cash ATS in 5 of the L/6 overall.
NBA Free Pick: The Over is a perfect 7-0 ATS the L/7 meetings, and it has also cashed in 5 straight in Washington.
