Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
The Toronto Raptors have been in pretty good form lately as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after routing the lowly 76ers in a 118-105 home win on Wednesday. AJ Lawson led the team in scoring with 28 points on 10 of 20 shooting off the bench, Jared Rhoden and Orlando Robinson scored 25 points each while Jamison Battle chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and 16 of 40 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 40 points in the second quarter to lead by as many as 22 points. Before they held off a late charge from the 76ers who cut the lead to just three points at the end of the third quarter.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost 14 of their last 17 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a seven-game slide after getting beaten by the Grizzlies in a 122-115 road defeat on Wednesday. John Collins scored 22 points on eight of 12 shooting, Collin Sexton tallied 22 points with eight rebounds and seven assists while Lauri Markkanen chipped in with 14 points and six rebounds. As a team, the Jazz shot 46 percent from the field and 12 of 34 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from an early 19-point deficit. Only to go cold and get outscored by 12-4 in the final 2:50 to lose yet another game they could’ve won.

Jazz vs Raptors Prediction
The Raptors are still missing a host of players including Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, Jakob Poeltl, and Ja’Kobe Walter, while the Jazz have ruled out John Collins again, and they have Keyonte George listed as questionable. The Raptors are just dealing with so many injuries at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped them from springing to life with five wins in their past six games. In contrast, the Jazz are starting to get some players back, but it hasn’t yet helped them as they are now on a seven-game losing streak. The Jazz are still capable of getting the win at home despite their poor form, but I don’t think they should be favorites against anyone these days. So, the Raptors look like solid value as the underdogs in this spot.
