The Raptors have had the No. 1 seed locked up for at least two weeks while cruising to the finish line. The Raptors did cover four of their last five games, but only four of their final 14. The Wizards have been playing playoff basketball for the past two months and now have John Wall back in a lineup that is even deeper.
Toronto closed out the regular season winning only seven of its last 13 games, and the Raptors covered in just three of their last 14 games. They split with Washington this season. Washington has won only three of its last 12, but there's a missing variable in the Wizards rating -- John Wall. He's only played four games since coming back and the last two he played hard and was sensational, giving Wizards covers in both. There are 2.5-points of value on just the thought of Wall becoming the dominant player from two years ago.
