Warriors at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 116, Warriors 109
Moneyline
PASS.
The Warriors are 2-14 on the road while the Raptors are 10-5 at home. That’s really all you need to know to make both the (-220) and (+190) unplayable.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS -5.5 (-115).
The Warriors are just a different, more incompetent team without Curry on the court. Even on the road with Curry they have struggled.
The reigning champs have the worst winning percentage on the road in the entire NBA and are just 3-13 ATS as the road team, also the worst record in the league.
Without Wiggins, defending F Scottie Barnes (14.9 PPG) and F Pascal Siakam (24.2 PPG) is going to be difficult as well.
While the Raptors haven’t played well lately, they are much better at home, posting a 9-6 ATS record. There is far more reason to be confident in Toronto here, and I would back the RAPTORS -5.5 (-115).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 227.5 (-115).
The Warriors will be adding more defense to their lineup than offense with the return of Thompson and Green, both slated as probable for the matchup.
The Raptors, on the other hand, are one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA, ranking 27th in field goal percentage (45.1%) and 29th in 3-point shooting percentage (32.4%).
The Raptors are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 while the Warriors are 4-4 O/U over their last 8. The Warriors breakneck pace, sitting atop the league, isn’t quite the same without their 2 volume scoring options.
With Toronto set to dominate and sitting 23rd in pace, expect this to be played at their tempo, and the UNDER 227.5 (-115) to be the better side of the total.
