Randy’s Pick

The Wizards have some value in the underdog role when you consider their offensive output through 3 games and the fact they should be motivated to finish the preseason undefeated. However, the Raptors have the same edge. Backups and guys who won’t be on the roster should look at this as a challenge to sweep the board. However, the Wizards likely aren’t playing anybody, and taking a trip across the border for the final preseason game has to be annoying. Line tells it all. Give me the Raptors.
