Raptors vs Warriors Prediction
I’m not excited to lay points with the Warriors on the road where they’ve lost 11 times, but this has more to do with the Raptors. Despite getting Barrett back soon, the Raptors are on the struggle bus, which includes a 3-7 SU and ATS record in their last 10 games. The Warriors are having a productive week with 3 straight wins and the defensive effort has improved. The line is somewhat reasonable. I’ll lay the points with the Warriors on the road.
