Washington @ Toronto

Current Records: Washington 30-36; Toronto 27-39

The Washington Wizards are 5-20 against the Toronto Raptors since November of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Thursday. Washington might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against Toronto at 7:30 p.m. ET May 6 at Amalie Arena. The Raptors will need to watch out since the Wizards have now posted big point totals in their last four contests.

Washington was just a bucket short of a win on Wednesday and fell 135-134 to the Milwaukee Bucks. The contest was a 71-71 toss-up at halftime, but Washington was outplayed the rest of the way. The losing side was boosted by point guard Russell Westbrook, who posted a triple-double on 29 points, 17 assists, and 12 rebounds. Westbrook now has 33 triple-doubles this season.

Meanwhile, Toronto was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 105-100 to the Los Angeles Clippers. A silver lining for the Raptors was the play of shooting guard Fred VanVleet, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 13 dimes.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. Allowing an average of 118.32 points per game, the Wizards haven't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming matchup.

The Raptors are a slight 1.5-point favorite against the Wizards, according to the latest NBA odds.

The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 1.5-point spread, and stayed right there.
