Randy’s Pick
The San Antonio Spurs are going to be without Devin Vassell, so this line has shifted a bit. Still, the Spurs are playing with high energy, they’re at home, and they still have Victor Wembanyama leading the way. The Toronto Raptors are underachieving with losses in 4 of their last 5 games and the offense has been a drag up to this point. The high energy Spurs are more than capable of winning this game and adding to the Raptors troubles. Give me the free bucket.
