The Raptors are visiting the Wizards on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Toronto is favored by 5.5 points and this game carries a total of 230.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Scottie Barnes prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Scottie Barnes Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Scottie Barnes Over 15.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)

Barnes has been very active as a playmaker and rebounder recently, leading the Raptors with 9.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in his last five, while clearing 15.5 RA in four of these contests. Immanuel Quickley (hip) remains out for Toronto and, with the guard off the floor this season, Barnes assist rate rises 1.5 percentage points to a team-high 30.9%.

Most importantly, Barnes gets the best matchup in the league Wednesday, going against the Wizards. Washington ranks fourth in pace, 29th in defensive efficiency and no team in the NBA is giving up more rebounds than Washington. Specifically to power forwards, the Wizards are yielding the most rebounds and second-most assists.

The Raptors have won four straight games and they present a huge 118.5-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook. Barnes is a threat for his second triple-double of the season in this perfect spot and exceeding 15.5 RA should be an easy task for the forward.
