The Toronto Raptors will host the Washington Wizards for the second successive night in the NBA. Both teams have struggled this season and sit in the bottom three places in the Eastern Conference. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Raptors lost the first game of this back-to-back with the Wizards. Darko Rajakovic’s men were undone 118-117, which is a result that will have left a bitter taste in the mouth.

The loss snapped a three-game winning run for Toronto. They shot 42% from the field, with 30 of their 40 made baskets coming from inside the arc.

RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl scored 23 and 21 points, respectively, while Scottie Barnes added 18.

The Wizards have been in good form, going by their performances this season. Brian Keefe’s men, who possess the worst record in the entire NBA, have registered four of their 13 wins in the last six games.

They are currently on a two-match winning run. Their last three wins have all been close affairs, ending by not more than three points.

Returning to the lineup after missing three games with an elbow injury, Jordan Poole led the Wizards with a game-high 34 points.

His impact was undeniable as he also provided five assists, and he will be key if they are to confirm back-to-back wins in Toronto.
