Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

Scottie Barnes led the team with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, Immanuel Quickley added 21 points with eight assists while Jakob Poeltl chipped in with 18 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Raptors shot 56 percent from the field and 11 of 26 from the 3-point line as they got off to a strong start. They kept pace with the Warriors in a close contest all the way until midway through the fourth quarter. The Warriors went on a pivotal 8-2 run to start to pull away. The Raptors will play the Wizards, Nets, and Hornets next.

Raptors vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still missing Victor Wembenyama, De’Aaron Fox, and Charles Bassey, while the Raptors have ruled out Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poelt,l and Brandon Ingram once again. The Spurs have been hit hard by injuries, but that hasn’t stopped them from playing some decent basketball over the past week or so. The Raptors were on a nice run of their own before they lost their last three games, but they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their last defeat. They were more than competitive against the red-hot Warriors before they lost by three points. You couldn’t back either side with too much confidence these days, but the Spurs deserve credit for their recent surge, and I think they keep it going with a narrow win here.
