The Wizards are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last seven conference games.

Prediction:

I’ve overlooked the Wizards at home in their last two big games but I am not going to do it again. This team has been playing very well at home, beating some of the best in the NBA by comfortable margins. They are averaging close to 118 points at home and their defense is slowly improving over their last five games. Once again, it appears that the Wizards are a better team without John Wall. Given Toronto’s inconsistency at covering on the road, I will take the Wizards with a handful of points.

NBA Prediction: Washington Wizards +6.5
