NBA Betting Trends

Washington

The Wizards are 19-40 against the spread in their last 59 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games playing on 1 day of rest.

Toronto

The Raptors are 0-9 against the spread in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

Prediction:

The Raptors have won all three meetings with Washington this season, covering the spread in two of the three games. Washington isn’t a team to count on on the road, going just 8-21 against the spread this season. Toronto has been shaky in its own right, and the Raptors always seem to have the potential to rest a top player, but I can’t trust Washington in this situation. The Wizards are on a downward trend and won’t be able to handle the offensive and defensive combo that Toronto has.

NBA Prediction: Toronto Raptors -11
