The Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Warriors are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 Sunday games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 4-0 in Raptors last 4 overall. The under is 10-4 in Warriors last 14 Sunday games. The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Golden State and 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Toronto Raptors are still playing lousy basketball and don't deserve to be backed in the favorite role. Beating the Kings also doesn't move the needle. The Golden State Warriors are quietly playing their best ball of the young season and the offense is coming alive with Curry leading the way. There's a bounce in the Warriors step right now. I want nothing to do with the Raptors until they can string together some solid performances. Give me the Warriors, a game they could win outright.
