Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
The Toronto Raptors have cooled off a bit recently as they are now hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting scorched by the Suns in a 129-89 road defeat on Monday. Scottie Barnes led the team with 16 points, Jamison Battle added 14 points while Immanuel Quickley chipped in with 15 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. As a team, the Raptors shot just 35 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and could never recover after getting demolished by an incredible 39-11 in the second quarter. The Raptors were always going to do it tough as they decided to rest RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl, but they just didn’t have the firepower to match the Suns at all in this one. The Raptors will meet the Spurs, Wizards, and Nets after this game.
Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been on a tear as they’ve won 13 of their last 15 games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Bucks in a 104-93 home win on Tuesday. Jimmy Butler led the team with 24 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists, Brandin Podziemski added 17 points while Buddy Hield chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Warriors shot just 41 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line. However, this win was more about their defense, as they held the Bucks to just 17 points in the second quarter to take a 16-point lead into halftime. They did it again in the fourth quarter, where they restricted the Bucks to just 17 points to pull off the statement win at home despite missing Stephen Curry, who was rested.

Toronto Raptors vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Raptors are still shorthanded as they have decided to rest RJ Barrett again, but they could have Jakob Poeltl back in the lineup. The Warriors are keeping an eye on Gary Payton II, who is listed as questionable for this one. The Raptors were playing some good basketball for a seven-game stretch before they decided to rest players, which cost them the last two games. In contrast, the Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the league, and they just ran past the Bucks despite playing without Stephen Curry. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Warriors decided to rest Curry once again, but even if they do, I still think the Warriors just have too much firepower for this depleted Raptors team.
