Charlotte Bobcats at Washington Wizards (NA) 
The Bobcats are fresh off an embarrassing 25-point home setback to the Indiana Pacers, but are just one-game back of the eighth-seed Chicago Bulls.
Prior to Saturday’s thumping, the Bobcats had been strong ATS play. They are 3-1 ATS in their last four, including a 13-point road victory over the Toronto Raptors.
“The way we ended that game, the way we played vs. Toronto, we’ve got to play every night like that from here out,” Bobcats guard Raymond Felton told reporters.
Felton is right; his club can’t afford to drop a game to the lowly Wizards if it hopes to snatch the eighth-seed from the Bulls.
“If we want to be a playoff team we are going to have to play little bit better,” Bobcats forward Vladimir Radmanovic told reporters.”
The Bobcats are 4-0 ATS in their last four tilts against Washington.
Pick: Bobcats
Milwaukee Bucks at Toronto Raptors (-3, 200.5)
Toronto has had a disappointing season and is out of the playoff hunt but it should step up against the Bucks.
The Raptors are just 12-21-1 at home but are 2-1 ATS in their last three home dates, including a 24-point victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
“When we come out and play the way we did it's fun," Raptors star Chris Bosh told reporters Sunday. “That’s what I think we have to get to now. We just have to have fun playing the game of basketball and the way you have fun is play defense, lock them down and run.”
Toronto was in desperate need of a victory heading into Sunday and should be hungry for another Wednesday against the Bucks, who have lost seven of their last 10.
The Bucks are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall and are now two games back of the Bulls for the eighth and final playoff spot.
Milwaukee is 1-8 ATS in its last nine contests overall.
Pick: Raptors
