Washington Wizards vs. Toronto Raptors Analysis
Not only have the Washington Wizards been winning this preseason, they have been blowing teams out. Washington is winning their three preseason games by an average of 31.4 points per game. In the recent game against the Knicks, Jordan Poole was absolutely on fire. He nailed 10 of 19 from the field and made 15 of his 16 free throw attempts, and landed 41 points in the Garden.
Poole will need to score a bunch of points this season to make up for the loss of Bradley Beal. Beal was the leading scorer for Washington for several seasons.
Along with Poole in the starting rotation for the Wizards are projected to be Tyus Jones, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyle Kuzma, and big man Daniel Gafford. Delon Wright, Deni Avdija, and Danilo Gallinari are expected to be the first off the bench for Washington.
Wizards Face Low Expectations
The Washington Wizards standings expectations in the regular season are near or at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Toronto saw Scottie Barnes lead the way in their most recent win. When looking at the official NBA Stats – Barnes scored 22 points, Malachi Flynn added seven rebounds, and Dennis Schroder dished out six assists. This was all with them playing under 30 minutes. Only Pascal Siakam played 31 minutes and also added 22 points in the game.
Chris Boucher and O.G. Anuonby should round out the starting five with Siakam, Barnes, and Schroder in Toronto this season. Jalen McDaniels and Gary Trent Jr should get plenty of opportunities, along with Flynn off the bench for the Raptors.
Fortunately, Toronto opens the season fairly healthy, with little to no activity on the Toronto Raptors injury report.

Washington Wizards vs. Toronto Raptors Betting Pick and Prediction
Barring any late additions to the NBA injury report, we expect this to be a pretty good preseason game. The Raptors are favorites at home, but the Wizards seem like the team that is a little more hyped and ready for the start of the regular season.
Look for Poole to get a bunch of shots up again, and even Kyle Kuzma; this is the type of game he will thrive in as well. Despite being the underdogs, we are going to take the Washington Wizards. In fact, we are going to bet on the Wizards straight up to win this game on the road.
When taking a look at the Wizards vs Raptors best bets: The final bet for us is the Washington Wizards +186 over the Toronto Raptors in preseason action on Friday!
- NBA Pick: Take the Wizards +186
