Warriors at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 120, Raptors 114
Moneyline
PASS.
The Warriors have been strong lately and have been even better away from home. The Raptors are 3-4 straight up over their last 7 and are 1-4 at home in that stretch. They aren’t worth a moneyline play either.
Against the spread
BET WARRIORS -2.5 (-108).
Golden State has won 5 of its last 6 games and has won 7 in a row on the road, covering in each. Six of those 7 wins came by double figures as well. The Warriors continue to dominate, and they will have the most dynamic player on the floor in Curry.
The Raptors made a midseason trade and have struggled since. They are 5-7 straight up over their last 12 yet 6-6 ATS in those games. However, they are just 2-3 ATS in their last 5 home games.
Given the difference in success in this situation, take WARRIORS -2.5 (-108).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 237 (-110).
The Raptors have gone Under in 5 of their last 8 games, scoring less than 100 in 2 of those. The Warriors have used defense as their propellant for this recent success. They have gone Under in 5 straight games and in 10 of their last 12, allowing 112 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games.
Golden State has a few strong defensive players like F Draymond Green, but may have tired legs after a prime-time Thursday evening showdown. That said, take UNDER 237 (-110).
