However, Washington's home success has come by the narrowest of margins, with the team needing overtime to eke out victories over the Pacers and the Celtics. And while the Wizards have tallied two straight road wins over the Raptors, they have dropped 11 of their last 12 SU to Toronto on home hardwood, going 3-9 against the spread over that stretch, according to the
