Washington vs Toronto Prediction: Choosing the Visitors

Prediction for the NBA Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors match will take place on March 3d. Toronto is in great shape - Nick Nurse's team has won eight of the last ten games. Will the Raptors do their best against Washington as well? The Canadian team has won the previous three meetings with the Wizards. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Wizards are one of the most elusive teams of the season. The Capitals may be one of the strongest teams in the East, but at this point, they struggle even to make the playoffs. Washington is currently just tenth in the conference and continues to fight for the top 10.

If you take the last four games, their instability is evident. Washington defeated tough Minnesota (114-106) and Atlanta (119-116) but lost to New York (109-115) with a difference of 20 points and was defeated without a chance by average Chicago (82-102). With such a fluctuation in results, it will be tough for the Wizards to count on a successful season's ending.

The Raptors still need to reach their full potential, sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, but unlike Washington, they've been playing much better lately. Eight wins in their previous ten games is an excellent result. On the other hand, the quality of their opponents could have been higher. The only big team Toronto has beaten was Memphis, while they struggled against the season's underdogs and average performers - Detroit, Orlando, San Antonio, and Chicago. Overall, it is too early to say that the Raptors are reaching their peak. However, Nick Nurse's team looks much fancied against their direct playoff rivals, Indiana, Chicago, and Washington.

The first game between Washington and Toronto this season was a low-scoring affair. All three meetings between the opponents last season were similar. Why should the upcoming game be an up-tempo affair? Toronto has a great defense in the paint, and that's an essential part of Washington's offense, given that they have three big men in the starting lineup - Kuzma, Porzingis, and Gafford. On the other hand, the Wizards have noticeably improved on defense at the three-point arc of late, so the little Raptors, Trent, and VanVleet, who are already unstable in the current league, could have more problems. We're betting on a TU game. As for the outcome, we still favor Toronto. Nick Nurse's team has picked up some decent momentum lately and has beaten Washington in the previous three games.
