Washington at Toronto

Two of the top four teams in the East meet here, so look for plenty of defense. Washington is eighth in the NBA in points allowed and sixth in field goal shooting defense. Washington is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total, plus is 20-7-1 UNDER playing on one day's rest. Toronto wraps up a nice four-game homestand and has been playing good defense, off an 87-82 win over San Antonio allowing 33% shooting. Toronto is 9-1 UNDER the total at home against a team with a winning road record. When these Eastern Conference rivals meet, the UNDER is 8-3, including 5-1 UNDER the total in the last six meetings in Toronto. Play this one UNDER the total.
