The Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors collide at the Chase Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Raptors vs Warriors Prediction.
Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors have been in a rut as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall and they will be hoping for a better result after getting beaten by the Kings in a 135-130 road defeat on Friday. Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley led the team with 20 points each, Pascal Siakam and Dennis Schroder scored 18 points each while Jakob Poeltl chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 54 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to cut a 23-point deficit to just three points late in the fourth quarter, only to allow the Kings off the hook in a tight finish.

- Seven of the Raptors’ last eight road games following a road loss have gone OVER the total points line.
Golden State Warriors
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games, but they will be hoping to get something going after sneaking past the lowly Pistons in a 113-109 win on Friday. Stephen Curry led the team with 26 points, six rebounds and four assists, Klay Thompson added 19 points while Dario Saric chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 38 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they fell behind late in the fourth quarter before they went on a pivotal 9-0 run to escape with the narrow win at home.

Raptors vs Warriors Prediction
The Raptors will again be shorthanded with Otto Porter Jr ruled out and Gary Trent Jr listed as questionable, while the Warriors have ruled out Chris Paul and they have Jonathan Kuminga listed as questionable. The Raptors haven’t been able to build any momentum lately and you could say the same about the Warriors who haven’t looked like the team we used to know. It’s hard to split these two squads at the moment, but with the line so short, I’m more comfortable leaning towards the Warriors to get the job done at home.
