The Raptors have lost three straight, including a blowout loss to Charlotte 116-81, a double-digit loss to Boston, and another to the Suns 113-94. Chris Bosh led the Raptors in scoring with 30 points, Andrea Bargnani, finished with 24 points, Suns Barbosa suffered an awkward landing rolling his ankle on an outside jumpshot, when he landed on Hedo Turkoglu’s foot. Turkoglu had 10 points, in the loss against the Suns.

The Wizards had a two-game win streak snapped at home against Charlotte losing 92-76. At the end of the third quarter the Wizards were down nearly 20 points, shooting only 29% from three-point range. Defensively the Wizards allowed six players from the Bobcats to score in double digits. Butler led in scoring with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. Brendan Haywood and Nick Young both had 10 points, with Haywood bringing in nine rebounds.

Prediction the Wizards just don’t have enough firepower, to take on the Raptors, I like Toronto -6.5, and I think this game stays under.
