The Washington Wizards got the better of the Toronto Raptors in the third and fourth games of their first-round series, but John Wall and company face a do-or-die Game 6 at home on Friday. Can Toronto cure its road woes? The Raptors are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games.
Sportsbook opened the Wiz as 2-point home favorites with a total of 214.5.
- The total has gone OVER in the Raptors’ last four games after winning the previous game in a matchup.
- The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the Wizards’ last 14 games with one day off between games.
- The Raptors are 1-3 SU and ATS in their last four games on the road against the Wizards.
With the series tied 2-2, Toronto emerged triumphant in Game 5 with a 108-98 win north of the border. DeMar DeRozan paved the way for the Dinos by scoring 32 points while handing out five assists to lead the top-seeded Raptors, while Delon Wright finished with 18 points in 26 minutes off the bench.
The Wizards will need another big game out of Bradley Beal to tie things up, as the shooting guard has largely struggled in Toronto but averaged 29.5 points on 52.6 percent shooting in the team’s two wins in the series. Kelly Oubre, who is 3-for-16 from three-point range, will need to figure out his shooting woes as well.
Home teams are winning and covering with ease in this series. Home sides are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings between the clubs.
