Toronto Raptors (-900) at Washington Wizards (+600) | O/U 226.5 (-112/-108)
- Leg 1: Raptors -14.5 (-102)
- Leg 2: Over 226.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 3: Brandon Ingram 33+ Pts+Rebs+Asts (-113)
The Raptors (34-25) head to the nation’s capital to battle the Wizards (16-42) at Capital One Arena at 7:00 p.m. ET. Toronto is also looking for revenge, as it lost 138-117 on Dec. 26, with Washington winning outright as an 8-point underdog while the Over (226) cashed. The teams have split 1-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS), while the Over has cashed in both meetings.
Toronto is coming off a 110-107 loss against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, although it did cover as a 6-point underdog as the Under (230.5) cashed. The Raptors have lost back-to-back games, although they’re an impressive 3-1 ATS in the past four games, and 6-2 ATS across the past eight outings. The Under has cashed in five of the past six games, too, while the total has gone low at a 9-4 clip in the past 13 outings.
For Washington, it was clubbed in back-to-back games in Atlanta, falling 119-98 on Tuesday as a 12.5-point underdog, and it lost 126-96 as a 10.5-point underdog in the rematch. The Wizards have lost in three in a row, with each setback by at least 17 points, with the average margin of defeat at 22.7 points per game (PPG).
The Wizards have allowed 117 or more points in four in a row, and nine of the past 10 games since Feb. 3, and the Over is 8-4 across the past 12 outings.
In this series, Toronto has won and covered in three of the past four outings, while going 7-3 SU in the past 10 in the series since Nov. 13, 2023, with the Raptors going 7-2 ATS in the past nine in the series. Also, while the Over cashed in D.C. on Dec. 26, the Under is actually 4-1 in the past five meetings in the nation’s capital.
Laying double-digits on the road is always a gut-wrenching situation, but the Wizards have that ugly 22.7 PPG margin of defeat in the past three games. Strike while the iron is hot, and back Toronto. We’ll also go Over, as the Washington defense hasn’t shown an ability to stop anybody lately. Expect the Raps to do most of the heavy lifting in that effort.
As far as the props, Raptors F Brandon Ingram is coming off a double-double against the Spurs, going for 20 points with 11 rebounds. He has managed 20+ points in three of the past four games, while posting at least six assists in three of the past four outings. Let’s go with 33+ on Ingram in Points+Rebounds+Assists.
Parlay Odds: +490
Los Angeles Lakers (-162) at Golden State Warriors (+136) | O/U 228.5 (-114/-106)
- Leg 1: Lakers -3.5 (-118)
- Leg 2: Over 228.5 Points (-105)
- Leg 3: LeBron James 6+ Assists (-152)
The Lakers (34-24) and Warriors (31-28) meet at Chase Center in San Francisco, and you can follow along on Saturday night on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Los Angeles is coming off a 113-110 loss in Phoenix as a 5.5-point favorite on Thursday, and the Lakers have dropped three in a row, while going 0-4 ATS in the past four outings, and 1-6 ATS in the past seven games.
The Under has cashed in three in a row for the Lakers, too, going for 110 or fewer points in three in a row, and six of the past eight games. L.A. has allowed just 113 or fewer points in the past three outings, so defense hasn’t been a problem. In fact, the Under is 6-3 across the previous nine contests, too.
The last time these teams met on Feb. 7 at Crypto.com Arena, the Lakers posted a 105-99 victory as 2.5-point favorites while the Under (220.5) cashed. Golden State won the first meeting 119-109, also in L.A., cashing as a 2.5-point favorite on Oct. 21. This game on Saturday will be the first meeting in the Bay Area. The Over has cashed in seven of the past eight meetings in this series.
The Warriors roughed up the Memphis Grizzlies 133-112 as a 4-point favorite at the FedEx Forum on Wednesday as the Over (226.5) cashed. Since Jan. 30, though, the Dubs are still just 4-6 SU in the past 10 games, while going just 2-5 ATS in the past seven outings, and 3-7 ATS in the previous 10 contests. The Over is 5-1 in the past six games, too, as Golden State has allowed at least 112 points in six in a row, and nine of the past 11.
As far as injuries, only Lakers F Rui Hachimura is on the report due to illness, and he is doubtful to play. For the Warriors, G Stephen Curry remains sidelined with that patellofemoral pain syndrome issue, and C-F Kristaps Porzingis is questionable due to illness. F Draymond Green is expected to play, as he is probable with a back ailment.
Let’s back the Lakers, who are mostly at full staff, against a Warriors team missing its best player, while Porzingis is also 50-50 to play. We’ll go high on the total, too, based on the series trends, and Golden State’s shoddy defense lately.
For player props, let’s go with an old trusty source. LeBron James had 20 points and 10 assists in the most recent meeting Feb. 7, while also adding seven assists. He missed the first meeting due to his sciatica. Since the All-Star break, LeBron is averaging 17.3 PPG, 6.3 APG and 4.8 RPG in the past four games. Some of the PRA combos have some high projections, so let’s simply bank on LeBron to get to six assists.
Parlay Odds: +410
