Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Warriors | -192 | -4.5 (-112) | Over 225.5 (-108) |
| Raptors | +160 | +4.5 (-108) | Under 225.5 (-112) |
A contestant shifted favorite from Golden State is -4.5 which indicates their much stronger position and relatively even play. Toronto has been on a dreadful five game losing streak and in-spite of having the home court advantage has struggled immensely. Golden State’s surprising trend of being 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games raises concerns however. On the other hand, Toronto’s terribly low home court win rate in the last ten games who were only able to win a single game makes them more of an under dog pick. Over at 225.5 it indicates comforting scoring action, However considering the last 20 matches you we see Golden State being in a trend of hitting the UNDER.
Stephen Curry (PG) vs. RJ Barrett (SG)
Stephen Curry is still in position to be the top offensive player coming from Golden States who averages 22.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists as of this season. His scoring may be considered to have gone down but his ability to dictate the pace and find open looks for other players still makes him a defensive threat. His three point shooting and playmaking will be crucial in defeating Toronto, which has weak guard defense. Sure, his turnover rate at 3.1 per game and long range shooting inconsistency might disrupt the Warriors’ tempo.
Despite Toronto’s dismal record this year, RJ Barrett who is a shooting guard for the Raptors has managed to be a consistent scorer throughout the season is a bright spot to mention. Barrett’s incredible ability to shoot from all three ranges has led him to average 22.7 points and 6.7 rebounds a game. His ability to defensive rebound aids in transitioning Toronto into offensive play, but with Barrett averaging 3.3 turnovers and 0.8 steals per game, it will be tough to keep up with Curry’s speedy movements and accurate shots..
Golden State Warriors: A Team Seeking Stability
In the prior five games, the scores for the Golden State’s team have been inconsistent (2-3 SU), with the team losing against Sacramento, Indiana and Miami. Their last forgotten scoring trace persists, with only 104.2 points being averaged per game. Even when they manage to scrape through a narrow victory against Detroit (107-104), they have grievous weaknesses. Over teams such as Miami and Sacramento, they composed a score of over 120 which demonstrated a lack of strong defensive tactics. If they target on fixing the scoring interactions and any holes within the defense, Golden State can overpower Toronto easily.
Toronto Raptors: Home Woes Continue
Toronto’s five-game losing streak does not look promising. They showed some tenacity during their matches with Cleveland (126-132) and Detroit (114-123), but their defensive weakness has remained. On average, the Raptors have conceded 124.6 points in their last five matches, which is significantly more than what they normally allow. Support often fails Barrett, the only one on that team who produces offense, to finish strong. Toronto comes in with a pathetic 1-9 home record in the last ten games and will need to find a way to defend themselves as the Warriors team appears to be quite confident.
Golden State Warriors Betting Trends
Golden State’s recent betting trends reveal their struggles. They’ve covered the spread in just three of their last 11 games and have leaned heavily on the UNDER (14 of their last 20). However, their favorable history against Toronto (4-2 SU in their last six matchups) and slightly better road form could instill confidence in bettors.
Toronto Raptors Betting Trends
Toronto’s betting trends are equally concerning. They’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 and have failed to win any of their last five games. Despite a recent uptick in OVER outcomes (four of their last six games), their inability to secure home wins makes them a risky proposition for bettors.
Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors Betting Previews
The Golden State Warriors will not have much problem sealing the deal, given their structural issues and lacking contributions from the bench. While Toronton’s RJ Barrett might be a problem, the Raptors’ lackluster defense is too much of an embarrassing issue. The Warriors have to take advantage of these and grab an away win.
As for the gamblers, Golden State -4.5 is pretty good considering that the Raptors have not done well in ATS. In addition to this, the total points of 225.5 is likely to go under taking into consideration the recent trends for Golden State. If there are players who are after good picks, we suggest player props on Stephen Curry, as he will have a great game against the weak defense of the Raptors.
Score Prediction: Golden State Warriors 113, Toronto Raptors 104.
