The set-up: The Raptors need to win out and get some outside help to make the play-in tournament. The Wizards have been steamrolling of late, but off a tight 135-134 loss in Milwaukee just last night, I finally expect Washington to stumble here in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. Toronto has three more games at home, before three on the road. It's now or never for the Raptors.

The pick: Washington has a tricky schedule, with a game at Indiana up next, followed by two at Atlanta, before then wrapping up with two at home vs. Cleveland and Charlotte. The Wizards though are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine when playing the second game of a back-to-back and off an ATS victory in the first. Everything points to Toronto finding a way to get the job done for bettors tonight.

This is a 10* COACHS CORNER on the Raptors.
