The Toronto Raptors will try to get their season off to a 2-0 start when they go on the road today to face the Washington Wizards. Tip-off at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by NBA League Pass.
Toronto had a somewhat dramatic offseason, with the acquisition of Kawhi Leonard put on hold before finally being completed once investigations into Leonard concluded. Leonard repaid that faith by leading the team to a 41-point win over the Chicago Bulls in their season opener. He was one of four starters in the game who recorded 20+ points and one of three to score 23 points.
As for the Wizards, Washington got the season off to a nice start with a 128-116 win over Milwaukee. Anthony Davis led the way with a double-double, 34 points and 12 rebounds, followed by Trae Young with 20 and Kyshawn George with 18. Rookie AJ Dybantsa did not make his regular season debut after leaving Washington’s preseason finale with an ankle injury. He is not expected to play tonight but is considered day-to-day.
A win tonight will give the Wizards their first 2-0 start since the 2022-23 season.

Our Washington Wizards vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
Washington definitely has a size advantage in Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr, and Deandre Ayton; they'll lean into it. But the Wizards' defense was one of the worst in the league last season and could certainly struggle against Kawhi Leonard. However, Washington is not the same team. The Wizards have some talented players on the roster in Davis, Trae Young, Sarr, George, Ayton, and Khris Middleton. If Dybantsa was playing, I might lean towards Washington and the points. Without him, and based on what we saw in both teams' openers, I think we’ll see a lot of scoring tonight, but I can’t say with confidence who will win or if they’ll cover.
Our Toronto vs. Washington Pick: OVER 236.5
