Advice and prediction

While it will be interesting to see how young players like Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga play in featured roles on Saturday, it won’t be easy against a gritty Toronto Raptors team.

Led by veterans Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr., the Raptors have won four of their last six games. Along with their steady play of late, the Raptors are heading into Saturday’s contest with four days off while the Warriors are capping the second leg of a road back-to-back.

Without Curry, Poole and Wiggins, the Warriors could have trouble scoring against the Raptors defense that features stellar rookie Scottie Barnes. Barring an explosive breakout run from an unlikely hero, the Raptors covering at -8.5 feels like a lock. With Golden State’s potentially struggling to produce on offense, under 203.5 is also a bet to follow.

Prediction: Raptors 108, Warriors 92
