As part of one of the matches of the regular NBA championship, the basketball players of the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Toronto Raptors
Toro lost Kyle Lowry last offseason, which will be a significant loss for the team, given the fact that the player played a role in the camp of his team. However, not everything is as hopeless as it might seem. In recent meetings, Achiuva has shown himself confidently. In the match with Houston, he managed to score 17 points in 18 minutes on the floor. It is likely that this guy will become the new leader of the home team. Toronto managed to beat Philadelphia and Houston in the offseason, but lost to Boston.
Washington Wizards
In the preseason, Washington was depressing with its game. The Capitals lost to Houston, lost to New York, and in general did not look the best during the start. It seemed that with the departure of Russell Westbroom, the game of "wizards" would get better, but so far it is hard to believe. All the hopes of Wizards fans are fed with players Caldwell-Pope, Kuzma and Dinwiddie. Of course, the team will be pulled by Montrez Harrell, but the efforts of this basketball player alone will not be enough.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Watanabe (calf injury), Siakam (shoulder) - all Toronto. Bryant (knee) – Washington.
- Under question:
- Boucher (finger) – Toronto FC. Avdiya (knee), Beal (knee), Winston (muscle injury), Hachimura (illness) – all "Washington".
Statistics and figures:
- "Toronto" is a small favorite of the match;
- "Toro" won 3 meetings out of the previous 5;
- Washington has lost all preseason games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a victory for Toronto with a score of 113:108.
Forecast
Washington had a terrible preseason, and will not claim victory in the upcoming match. Most likely, the victory in this meeting will go to the more venerable Toronto players. Moreover, in 4 of the 5 previous matches, it was the hosts who won Victoria in face-to-face meetings.
