NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Toronto vs. Washington,
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Toronto Raptors
Rating: 8*

The Washington Wizards are still looking for their first win of the season as they host the Toronto Raptors for their first home game of the season Wednesday night. Toronto swept the four-game series last season, and I like them to get the better of the Wizards once again. Washington has struggled at times on both ends of the floor, sitting 19th in the league in scoring offense with 101 points per game and third worst with 113 ppg allowed. Washington's new head coach Scott Brooks sure got his work cut out for him.

The Raptors have opened the season with a 2-1 record home at Toronto. They're not the strongest road team in the league, but star guard DeMar DeRozan has started the season on fire and Kyle Lowry is heating up as well. Toronto is a team that knows how to close down its opponent, and I think they'll take care of business tonight. Let's go Toronto.
