Raptors vs. Wizards Prediction: Raptors -6.5

Both teams impressed in their season openers, each winning by double figures. The Raptors won in a blowout and dominated both ends of the floor. Washington got double-doubles from its two stars, AD and Young, and the highly anticipated debut of No. 1 draft pick Dybantsa is delayed by an ankle injury. Toronto will turn on the defence again and get it done on the scoreboard with solid balance, which is why they are the pick to win and cover.
