After going into an early 0-2 hole in their first-round series with the Toronto Raptors, the Washington Wizards turned the tables on Canada’s lone NBA team thanks to a huge 122-103 triumph in Game 3 on Friday. The Wiz will look to even things up in D.C. in Game 4 on Sunday. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games.
Sportsbook opened the Raptors as slight 1.5-point road favorites with a total of 218.5.

- The OVER is 4-1 in the last five meetings with the Wizards and Raptors in Washington.
The Raptors averaged 122 points in the Sportsbook two games of the series prior to the loss but fell asleep both on offense and defense in Game 3, as John Wall and Bradley Beal scored 28 points apiece for the Wiz. Washington shot 55.3 percent from the field and scored at least 30 points in each of the first three quarters of Game 3.
The top-seeded Raps received 23 points in DeMar DeRozan and 19 points and eight assists from Kyle Lowry, but their bench struggled to shoot 10-of-29 with none of the seven reserves reaching double figures in points. Fred VanVleet missed his second game in the series due to a bruised shoulder and is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 4.
