Smart Game Analysis
Toronto Raptors has a 72% chance of winning the game
Despite missing key starters, the Raptors' top-tier defense should overwhelm a Wizards team that ranks last in the league in points allowed and net rating.
Key Analysis
- • Toronto is without starters RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl, while Washington is missing rotation wings Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore.
- • Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram present a mismatch for a Wizards defense that surrenders a league-worst 126.1 points per game.
- • The Raptors own the NBA's 4th-best defensive rating compared to Washington's 30th-ranked defense.
- • Toronto dominated the only previous head-to-head meeting this season with a decisive 140-110 victory.
- • Washington enters the contest with a 5-23 record and a league-worst -13.3 net rating.
- • The Wizards must exploit Toronto's lack of interior size without Poeltl to generate easy paint points for an upset.
