Toronto opened the season by hanging 135 on the Bulls. Leonard, Quickley and Barnes each scored 23 in a 43-point win, and this looks like a team that means business.

Washington gets the first look at the new Raptors without its best young piece. AJ Dybantsa is out, and the talent gap on the floor is real.

Betting angle

Raptors -6.5 (-110). The line opened at -4.5 and money pushed it to -6.5. That move tells you the room trusts the opener more than the market did. Follow the money and the talent gap, and lay the road number.

Watch Friday at 6:00 PM CT from Washington.
