Preview:
The 8-18 Wizards travel to face the 19-8 Raptors, getting 6.5 points as underdogs. Given the brutal injuries Toronto are facing, I’m going to take the points with the Wiz here.
Toronto was already a relatively thin side, but these injuries appear to have decimated them. Star Forward Pascal Siakam is out indefinitely with a groin injury, while Marc Gasol is slated to miss several weeks with a hamstring injury.
Their guard depth will also be tested, with injuries to both Powell and VanVleet that could keep them out here. Compare that to a Washington side that is essentially fully healthy and I think they’re undervalued getting 6.5 points.
This will be Toronto’s first full game without both Siakam and Gasol, which will really test their frontcourt. Washington have looked much better on the interior of late and I can see them having real success against backup options.
With Siakam out, Washington’s Brad Beal edges Kyle Lowry as the best player on the floor here. He also has a real favourable matchup, likely spending plenty of time against 3x Champion Pat McCaw.
As the injury news keeps coming out, I only see this number going in Washington’s favour. Get in now at +6.5 and you’re essentially getting a freeroll.
Odds:
Tip: Toronto Raptors at $1.38
