Raptors at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 112, Raptors 100

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Nets (-500) to beat a Toronto (+375) team that is 2-8 in its last 10 and 11-27 on the road this season.

Against the spread

BET NETS -10.5 (-105).

Toronto is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games including 2-6 ATS in its last 8. It has failed to cover in 5 of its last 6 games as a double-digit underdog and faces a Nets squad that has held opponents to 107 or fewer points in back-to-back games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-115).

The Raptors have scored 111 or fewer points in 6 of their last 10 games and have hit the Under in 2 of their last 3 on the road. The Nets are coming off a 77-point night and have failed to hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games. They have held opponents to 111 or fewer points in 3 straight games and 6 of their last 9. The Under has hit in each of the previous 3 matchups between these teams this season.

Indiana Pacers at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Indiana Pacers at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Pacers (45-34) square off against the Toronto Raptors (25-53) Tuesday with tip-off from Scotiabank Arena set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pacers vs. Raptors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Raptors lead 2-1

The Pacers eclipsed the Heat 117-115 Sunday to win their 2nd in a row and 4th in 5 games. C Myles Turner had 22 points and 13 boards to lead 7 players in double figures. The Pacers sit in 6th with 3 games to go and could climb as high as 3rd or sink as low as 9th in the East.

The Raptors ended a long losing streak and have won 2 in a row. The latest was a 130-122 triumph over the Washington Wizards Sunday. F RJ Barrett had 22 points, 8 boards and 7 assists as he looks to end the season strong. He’s averaging 21.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG and 4.1 APG while shooting 54.7% from the floor and 40.7% from distance in 30 games since being traded to Toronto. All of those would be career highs.

Pacers at Raptors and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 117, Raptors 105

Moneyline

There’s no chance we’re betting this ML. The Raptors are depleted by injuries, but they just beat the Milwaukee Bucks at their house 117-111 four days ago. That’s a prime example why you don’t bet such heavy favorites — especially this late in the year.

Let’s SGP PACERS -3.5 + RJ BARRETT 20 POINTS + MYLES TURNER 1 BLOCK (-115).

Turner has a block in 10 straight. Barrett has dropped 20 in 5 straight.

Against the spread

I don’t see any point in playing either side of a 12.5-point spread. It’s late in the year, and anything can happen.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both teams are 5-5 O/U over their last 10. The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. The Over 247.5 and 247 cashed in both February meetings, but the Raptors are missing a slew of parts due to injury. The total didn’t come down far enough.

Take the UNDER 239.5 (-110).

Raptors at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 120, Raptors 106

Moneyline

PASS.

Milwaukee should pick up the win, but the Bucks are not worth the risk of betting on as -2000 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN RAPTORS +17 (-110).

Toronto has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 matchups vs. Milwaukee and is 7-3 in the last 10 matchups. The Raptors are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with the Bucks in Milwaukee.

The Bucks have also been underperforming recently and have 2 key players on their injury report, further strengthening the odds of the Raptors covering here.

This is only a lean because both teams have been similar ATS this season and because Toronto is the coldest team in the league right now.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 4 consecutive games for the Raptors. For Milwaukee, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games and is 6-3 in its last 9. The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Toronto-Milwaukee matchups and in 4 of the last 5 meetings.

Raptors at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 116, Raptors 105

Moneyline

The T-wolves have won 5 of their last 6 games and 8 of the last 10 while Toronto last won a game on March 3 and last won on the road on Feb. 26.

The Raptors did win in Toronto in their 1st meeting 97-94 on Oct. 25 as 1-point favorites.

Minnesota is 27-10 at home while Toronto is 10-26 on the road.

There is no reason to bet the Raptors (+800) and betting the Wolves at -1400 isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Raptors have lost by 15 or more in 3 straight games while the Timberwolves have gone 8 straight games without beating a team by more than 15 points.

They are 5-6 ATS on no rest, compared to the Raptors’ 5-7 ATS mark on no rest. Minnesota is 13-18-2 ATS as home favorites. Toronto is 16-13-1 ATS as road underdogs.

BET RAPTORS +15.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Raptors have allowed over 120 points in 3 straight games and in 5 of their last 7. Those same 5 of 7 games have had more than 215 total points.

Minnesota allows an average of 106.2 points per game while scoring 112.9 points per game. The Raptors allow 118.5 points per game.

BET OVER 215.5 (-115).

Lakers at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 124, Raptors 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers (-900) should pick up the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN LAKERS -13 (-110).

Los Angeles has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games. The Lakers have also covered in 2 of their last 3 matchups vs. Toronto overall and are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 vs. the Raptors in Toronto.

LA has key players listed on the injury report, and with Toronto likely getting 2 of its best players back for this matchup, this is a very risky bet.

Be aware that the Lakers have been a subpar team ATS this season (35-40).

Over/Under

BET OVER 230.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Raptors. For Los Angeles, the Over is 3-2 in its last 5 overall and is 41-33-1 on the season. The Over has also hit in 4 consecutive LA-Toronto matchups and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings over the past few seasons.

The Under has been safer for Toronto this season and is 7-3 in its last 10 overall.

76ers at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Raptors 101

Moneyline

PASS.

The Raptors have had little desire to win or even be competitive and will be without many of their key players. They aren’t worth a play on the moneyline. Similarly, the 76ers are far too expensive to play to win outright.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -11 (-110).

The 76ers have been a double-digit favorite just once without Embiid in the lineup, and they covered in that game, beating the Hornets by 11 and closing as a 10.5-point favorite. The 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games and have dominated the Raptors this entire season.

The Raptors are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a double-digit underdog. In their last 3 games as a double-digit underdog, they lost by 20 or more. Toronto’s defense has been abysmal, and its offense hasn’t been able to keep pace either.

Considering those trends, back 76ERS -11 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 218.5 (-110).

The Raptors offense, without Barnes, Barrett, Quickley and their 2 top centers, hasn’t been able to do much of anything. They have scored 104 or fewer in 7 of their last 8 games and have gone Under 90 in 2 of their last 5. They will only have 2 players active who are averaging double figures on the season.

The 76ers are 3-5 O/U in their last 8 games, scoring 102 or fewer in 4 of their last 7. Their offense hasn’t been as potent without Embiid, and they don’t play at a fast tempo.

That said, neither team will be looking to run up the score. Take UNDER 218.5 (-110).

Season series: Knicks lead 3-0; New York is 3-0 against the spread (ATS), with the Over going 2-1

The Knicks won 124-99 against the Pistons last time out Monday, covering as 17-point favorites at home as the Over (211.5) cashed. New York is 6-1 straight up (SU) and 5-1-1 ATS across the past 7 outings, with the Over going 3-1 in the previous 4 contests.

The Raptors suffered a 96-88 loss at home against the Brooklyn Nets Monday as a 6.5-point underdog as the Under (218) cashed.

Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 113, Raptors 95

Moneyline

The Knicks (-950) will cost you nearly 10 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially for a road team.

While New York has been playing well, and the Raptors (+640) are obviously in tank mode, it’s still not a recommended play to back such a heavy favorite.

PASS.

Against the spread

The KNICKS -13.5 (-106) are heavy favorites on the road, but they’re playing very well of late.

New York has won 6 of the past 7 games, and it has cashed as a favorite of 6 or more points at a 3-0-1 ATS clip in the past 4 instances just since March 12. The Knicks have been taking care of business against the dregs of the league, for which the Raptors +13.5 (-114) certainly qualify.

The Raps have been mailing it in, dropping 11 consecutive outings, while failing to cover in 6 of the previous 7, including the past 3 as double-digit underdogs. And the past 2 occasions as a ‘dog of 11 or more points came at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 210 (-110) is worth a look in this Eastern Conference battle north of the border.

The Raps have cashed the Under in 7 straight outings while going 10-3 in 13 March contests. The offense has been awful, going for 104 or fewer points in 6 of the past 7 outings, while failing to reach triple digits in 3 of the past 5.

The Knicks have allowed just 96 PPG in the past 2 wins against non-playoff teams while holding teams to double-digit point totals in 7 of the past 9 outings. New York is on a 12-4 run to the Under across the past 16 outings.

Nets at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 108, Raptors 100

Moneyline

PASS.

Both of these teams are bad and both are among the coldest teams in basketball right now, but I like the Nets (-215) to win as they are 7-3 in their last 10 matchups vs. Toronto. Brooklyn is not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite, so bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN NETS -5 (-112).

Brooklyn has covered the spread in 7 of its last 10 meetings with Toronto and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 matchups with the Raptors in Toronto.

This is a risky bet as Toronto has been the slightly better team ATS this season and although both teams have been cold ATS recently, the Nets should be able to cover as the Raptors are still without their best player in F Scottie Barnes.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 215 (-110).

The Under has hit in 6 consecutive games for Toronto and is 3-0 in its last 3 home games. For Brooklyn, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games. The Under has also been safer for both teams this season, being 36-34-1 for the Nets and 37-34 for the Raptors. The Under is also 6-1 in the last 7 Brooklyn-Toronto matchups.

Be aware that the Over is 7-3 in Brooklyn’s last 10 games overall.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Raptors (23-47) and Washington Wizards (12-58) meet Sunday at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Raptors vs. Wizards odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Raptors lead 2-0

Toronto dropped its 9th game in a row with a 123-103 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night. It failed to cover the spread as a 16.5-point underdog, and the Under (230) cashed. Every Raptors starter scored in double figures, led by rookie G Gradey Dick, who had 21 points on 4-of-7 shooting from long range. They struggled to control the ball, committing 27 turnovers in the loss. Toronto currently sits 7½ games back of the Atlanta Hawks for the final play-in spot.

Washington snapped a 5-game losing streak in a 109-102 win against the Sacramento Kings Thursday night. It won the game outright as an 11-point underdog, and the Under (238.5) cashed. F Kyle Kuzma carried the Wizards with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. Washington has long been eliminated from playoff contention.

The Raptors have won 7 of the last 8 against the Wizards. In their most recent meeting (Dec. 27), Toronto covered as a 6.5-point road favorite with a 132-102 victory as the Under (243) hit.

Raptors at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 118, Wizards 110

Moneyline

BET RAPTORS (+200).

Yes, Toronto has lost 9 straight games, but where better to get back on the winning track than a trip to our nation’s capital?

The Raptors have won 4 straight against the Wizards, including the 30-point victory in Washington Dec. 27. It may be a long shot, but Toronto still has an outside chance of making the playoffs, while the Wizards are playing out the string at this point. I love getting those juicy plus-odds in this matchup.

Against the spread

PASS.

I’m going to focus my unit on the moneyline. No need to bet the spread.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-110).

I’m all about the Under in this game because the trends are hard to ignore. The Raptors and Wizards have gone Under in their last 3 head-to-head matchups, and Toronto has gone Under in its last 5 games.

Also, both of these teams are missing a few key players, especially when it comes to offense. The Raptors are only scoring 96 points per game over their last 3.

Thunder at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 117, Raptors 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value in the Thunder (-1400), who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, to beat the Raptors, who are 1-9 in their last 10.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS +15.5 (-115).

While the Thunder are playing much better basketball than the Raptors, 15.5 points is too steep of a spread to be confident betting the favorites. The Thunder are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, including 0-4 ATS in their last 4. They are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as double-digit favorites, whereas Toronto is 4-3 ATS in its last 7 as a double-digit underdog.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).

OKC has held opponents to 112 or fewer points with the Under hitting in 4 of its last 6 games.

It faces a Toronto team that has hit the Under in 7 of its last 10 games, including each of its last 4. The Raptors have scored 104 or fewer points in 4 straight games and 111 or fewer in 7 straight. They have allowed 113 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.
