The Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors meet Saturday in NBA action at the Scotiabank Arena. The Golden State Warriors look for a win after winning five of their last six games. The Toronto Raptors look for a win after splitting their last eight games.

The Golden State Warriors are averaging 111.8 points on 47.1 percent shooting and allowing 100.2 points on 42.2 percent shooting. Stephen Curry is averaging 26.9 points and 6.1 assists, while Andrew Wiggins is averaging 18.4 points and 4.5 rebounds.

The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 24-9-1 ATS in their last 34 games overall. The Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 20-6-1 in Warriors last 27 overall. The under is 5-2 in Raptors last 7 home games. The over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Toronto.

The Golden State Warriors are still a team you shouldn’t be looking to step in front of, as they continue to pile up the wins and covers. The Toronto Raptors are playing some of their best ball of the season, which includes winning their last five games by an average of seven points, but I’m not sure that maters much. The Warriors are just on a roll, and it takes more to get me off this bandwagon.
