Simulation Results
A 10,000-game Monte Carlo simulation was run using current 2025 season metrics: Raptors’ offensive rating (112.8), defensive rating (106.6), pace (102.5); Wizards’ offensive rating (108.4), defensive rating (120.8), pace (101.8).

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Raptors, aligning with sharp money and simulation outcomes, making a follow optimal as metrics confirm the edge without contrarian signals. Wizards’ injuries weaken their frontcourt, tilting the game toward Toronto dominance. Overall scoring leans slightly over due to Washington’s porous defense but tempered by Raptors’ controlled pace.
