Raptors vs Wizards NBA Preview
The Raptors defense is elite, and the Wizards offense is pretty meh, considering their performance against the Bucks, who led most of that game.
Still, I don’t want to lay the points, but I will take the under.
This assumes Toronto keeps up the rapid pace built off Chicago’s turnover rate in the first game, and the Wizards keep cranking out buckets when they’re not facing a soft Bucks perimeter.
Raptors vs Wizards Pick, Analysis
Toronto slows it down, the Wizards defend more than they did in that opener, and the game hits a crawl.
This is a good spot for alternate unders.
