Suns at Raptors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 116, Raptors 110

Money line

The Suns have only lost consecutive games twice all season. They have the league’s second-best road record and are back to full strength with the exception of Johnson.

The Raptors have been playing extremely well lately and they have wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz, but with the season the Suns have been having, betting against them is hard.

Take the SUNS (-175).

Against the spread

The Suns pretty much find themselves favored every game they play and have covered the spread in eight of their last nine wins. They are 21-18 ATS overall.

The Raptors have covered the spread in 12 of their last 15 games, including three of the last four games they were underdogs.

However, it is hard to bet against a healthy Suns squad on the road.

Take the SUNS -3.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Nine of the Suns’ last 13 games hit the Over but they’ve alternated the Over and Under in their last six outings. Their most recent game went Over the protected total.

The Raptos had a 10-game Over streak snapped in their win Sunday.

This game could be exciting with a lot of points.

Take OVER 222.5 (-115).
