Toronto Raptors at Washington Wizards
When: Thursday, February 1, 7:00 p.m. ET
Where: Capital One Arena, Washington, D.C.
Betting Line / Total: Toronto -3.5 / 214.5 Points
Toronto Raptors
With the Cleveland Cavaliers continuing to falter and the Boston Celtics still well within reach for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Raptors are feeling like this may be the year that they take the next step into becoming a legitimate threat to win the East.
They have certainly looked like one to this point ranking third in the NBA in scoring (111.1 points per game) and tenth in the league in defense (allowing 103.8 points per game). With a 34-15 SU and 26-23 ATS record through 49 games, Toronto is currently on pace to produce the best regular season record in franchise history.
The Raptors have been dominating the Eastern Conference this season and have a 15-2 SU and 11-6 ATS record in their last 17 conference games per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Washington Wizards
After suffering through a fairly ugly month of January and losing John Wall for six-to-eight weeks with a knee injury, the Wizards capped off the month with a pair of strong wins, defeating Atlanta 129-104 as 3.5-point road favorites and Oklahoma City 102-96 as 3.5-point home underdogs
This marked the first time that Washington has covered the spread in back-to-back games since last December and broke the team out of a 4-6 SU and 1-9 ATS slump. Washington is 11-3 SU and ATS in its last 14 games as a home underdog.
Thursday’s total is set at 214.5 points. The OVER is 7-3 in Washington’s last 10 games.
Washington has rallied together admirably in the absence of John Wall over the last two games. After pulling off the upset over Oklahoma City on Tuesday, the Wizards will try to do the same against another high-powered offense on Thursday.
