Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
The Toronto Raptors have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their first seven games and they will be eager to build some momentum after snapping a two-game skid with a 125-118 road win over the Clippers on Monday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 27 points on eight of 13 shooting, RJ Barrett added 26 points on 10 of 19 shooting while Scottie Barnes tallied 22 points with 15 rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 52 percent from the field and eight of 29 from the 3-point line as they struggled for most of the contest and trailed in this one by as many as 16 points, before they caught fire with a season-high 47 points in the fourth quarter to run past the Clippers and secure the impressive comeback win.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have yet to hit their stride as they have split their first six games of the season and they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after coming up short against the Trail Blazers in a 118-110 home defeat on Monday. Jamal Murray led the team with 35 points and six assists on 10 of 19 shooting, Nikola Jokic racked up 26 points with nine rebounds and eight assists while Christian Braun chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Nuggets shot 47 percent from the field and nine of 26 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first quarter to jump out to an early 14-point lead, but it was all downhill from that point as the Nuggets leaked 39 points in the second quarter and got outscored by 60-43 in the second half to suffer another disappointing defeat.
Toronto v Denver Free Prediction
The Raptors are still missing Kawhi Leonard and they are keeping an eye on Jakob Poeltl, while the Nuggets have ruled out Julian Strawther and Spencer Jones again. The Raptors will be happy with their progress so far and they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their comeback win over the Clippers in their last outing. You can’t say the same about the inconsistent Nuggets who still can’t build any momentum despite having all their key players healthy. In past seasons, the Nuggets would be heavy favorites at home in these types of matchups but they’ve been well below their best so far which explains why the line is so short. The Nuggets need a win just for their own confidence, but the Raptors are playing good basketball at the moment and I think they keep it going with an upset road win in this one.
