Oklahoma City Thunder vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 2-4-24 Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Toronto Raptors at the Paycom Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Thunder vs Raptors Prediction.

Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 10 of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping for a better performance after getting humbled by the Rockets in a 135-106 road defeat on Friday. Scottie Barnes led the team with 28 points, seven rebounds and four assists, Immanuel Quickley added 25 points with six assists while Gary Trent Jr chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 33 from the 3-point line as they allowed the Rockets off to a flyer and were always fighting an uphill battle after falling behind by double digits in the first quarter where they leaked 37 points. Bruce Brown had a rough game as he shot just two of nine from the field for his five points, while Gradey Dick scored just three points on one of eight shooting.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been in great form as they’ve won seven of their last nine games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after blowing past the Hornets in a 126-106 win on Friday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 31 points, nine assists and five steals, Chet Holmgren added 16 points while Cason Wallace chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Thunder shot 58 percent from the field and 17 of 36 from the 3-point line as they made this one look easy from the start, dominating the first half by 73-42, allowing them to cruise the rest of the way and rest most of their starters early.

Thunder vs Raptors Prediction

The Raptors could be shorthanded again with RJ Barrett listed as questionable, while the Thunder are keeping an eye on Tre Mann who is questionable due to personal reasons. The Raptors just can’t buy a win these days and they’ve gotten even worse since trading their players away. In contrast, the Thunder have been one of the form teams in the league and they made it look easy in their big win over the Hornets in their last outing. The line is hefty, so it’s tempting to take the Raptors, but the Thunder have been feasting on the lesser teams in the league all season and I think this one is no different.
