The Toronto Raptors (18-13) travel to the Washington Wizards (5-23), with tipoff set for 7pm at the Capital One Arena, Washington.
Toronto come into this match as 8 point favourites, seeded 4th in the East. Last time out they smashed Miami 112-91. Four wins in their last ten matches, Toronto haven’t been in great form but continue to steadily move through the season. The one main concern coming into this is the lack of scoring. Toronto rank last in the NBA for pts per game in their last 10, averaging just 104.7. It has been their defence that has carried them in recent weeks.
As for Washington, they sit bottom of the Eastern Conference with just 5 wins all season. Ranked 29th for Opposition points per game (126.1), they have been on the receiving end of some really big losses this season. Against top 5 seeded teams, Washington are 0-11 this season, averaging a minus 19.4 points differential in those matches. So all of the signs would suggest this will not be a positive encounter for them tonight.
