The Washington Wizards (12-49) visit the Toronto Raptors (20-42) on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at the Scotiabank Arena.

Both the Wizards and Raptors are struggling this season and are on pace to be lottery teams in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Wizards (108.3 points) and the Raptors (110.4 points) are ranked in the bottom half of the league in average points. 

On top of that, their three-point shooting percentages are abysmal. Washington is only making 33.4% (29th) of their three-pointers, while Toronto is hitting 34.9% (21st) of theirs. To further concretize these numbers, Washington is ranked dead last in offensive rating (106.5) and Toronto is positioned at 26th (110.5).

To make matters worse for Washington, their leading scorer Jordan Poole has missed the last three games due to an elbow injury. That's an average of 21.0 points and 3.5 three-pointers gone for the Wizards. Poole is listed as questionable for the Raptors match.

On the Raptors side, they have won three games in a row. Point guard Immanuel Quickley is coming off a season-high 34 points against the Utah Jazz. He might have another stellar game against a Wizards team that ranks 28th in defensive rating (118.6).

Our Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards Prediction

In their first game this season, the Raptors won against the Wizards, 106-82. That's a combined output of only 188 points. With Jordan Poole possibly sitting out for the Wizards, this might turn into another low-scoring game.

It also doesn't help that both teams are among the worst five teams in terms of offensive rating. The Raptors are favored to win this match, albeit a low-scoring one. Our prediction for the Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards match is: under 222.5.
