Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards Prediction & Props – 12/26/2025

The Toronto Raptors head to Washington on Friday to face the struggling Wizards in a post-Christmas matchup in the Eastern Conference. Toronto arrives off a solid win over the Miami Heat and sits comfortably within the top half of the Eastern Conference. The Wizards continue to have one of the worst records in the league and are dealing with numerous injuries. Can the Raptors get a second straight win on Friday? Here, I attempt to answer that question as I make my Raptors vs Wizards prediction.

Key Storylines

Toronto (18-13) enters this contest after snapping a brief losing streak with a 112–91 win over Miami. That victory helped the Raptors stabilize things in a December in which they have dropped eight of their last 12 games. Toronto sits in the fourth seed in the Eastern standings and looks to build some momentum before a stretch of tough matchups later in the week.

The Raptors’ defense has tightened up of late, holding opponents under 100 points in consecutive outings, and they can exploit numerous weaknesses on the defensive end presented by Washington. The Raptors are still without RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl remains questionable, but contributions from perimeter shooters like Immanuel Quickley and an increased role for Sandro Mamukelashvili have given Toronto offensive balance.

The Wizards (5-23) continue to struggle as one of the league’s most beleaguered teams. Washington is without Cam Whitmore indefinitely due to a shoulder blood clot, with Corey Kispert also listed as day-to-day. CJ McCollum carries most of the scoring load, averaging 18.6 points per game, but the supporting cast has been disappointing on both ends of the floor. The Wizards have lost two games in a row and three of their last four contests.
