The Washington Wizards and the Toronto Raptors are two teams heading in opposite directions, and we look for the Wizards to post a rather safe win at home here tonight.

Many experts were predicting the Wizards to be the most improved team in the NBA this season, as when healthy, they do have a formidable starting unit. Well, Antawn Jamison made his season debit on November 18, joining Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler in the starting lineup, and all the Wizards did that night was upset the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As Jamison has been playing himself into game shape, Washington has indeed been playing like a playoff contender, as they have won four of their last fives games including a 106-102 win over these Raptors in Toronto on Tuesday. It is also worth noting that Earl Boykins is a top competitor for the Sixth Man of the Year Award this season with his play off the bench, so with Boykins or Arenas in the game, the Wizards have a quality point guard on the floor at all times.

While the Wizards are starting to catch fire, the Raptors have been plummeting with their current five-game losing streak, and they have played poorly on the road all season, where they are just 2-9 straight up and 3-8 against the spread while losing by a dreadful average of -11.1 points per game. Toronto is second to last in the NBA in defense, ahead of only the Golden State Warriors, and they have been simply atrocious on the road, surrendering 115.2 points per game.

The Wizards have the floor leadership at all times to take advantage of that dreadful defense, so lay this modest spot at home tonight.

NBA Free Pick: Wizards -4 (-110)
