TOR vs WAS Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards

TOR vs WAS Dream11: In this classic Eastern Conference match-up, the Toronto Raptors will host the Washington Wizards. The Raptors are three games below the 50% win mark while the Wizards are five games above that.

Raptors began the season in an impressive fashion but inconsistencies have plagued them lately. The team has some big-time players but there is a severe lack of bench depth. Toronto needs to shore up the bench before the trade deadline.

The Wizards have been playing an incredible brand of basketball this season. Conversely to the last season, this time around defense is the central theme for Washington, a team that has done well in many regards. There is some work to be done but still, the squad can build on this momentum.

Host: Toronto Raptors
Visitors: Washington Wizards
Match Timing: 6 December, @ 04:30 AM
Venue: Scotia Bank Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Raptors: Lack of bench depth
One of the major problems for the Raptors has been the lack of bench depth that has caused the burden to shift majorly on the starters. The players of the main five get exhausted by the end of the game and that has caused the momentum to drift away. Still, Siakam and Van Vleet, you get a combined 45 points or so. Barnes and Trent combine for 30-35 while apart from these four, there are no double-digit scorers. Chris Boucher’s game has receded this season which has created fractures for the bench.

Wizards: There are some issues
The Wizards players have eked out wins due to their defensive strengths more than the offensive game. Not only Beal’s production is down scoring-wise but Harrell, Kuzma, Dinwiddie have been up-and-down all season long. It isn’t an alarming situation in Washington by any means but yes, an improved offensive game by multiple players can carry them forward in a more inspiring fashion. There are some depth issues too without Hachimura and Bryant out of the fray but largely, Washington has been playing some high-quality ball.
