Denver Nuggets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Denver Nuggets should put together a better effort in their second game, as they couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat in their opener. With that said, I’m still siding with the Raptors. I mentioned in my previous article that the Toronto Raptors are as stacked and talented as you can get for a summer league roster, and boy did they deliver in their opener. The Raptors have the pieces to win the summer league title. I was high on the Raptors entering the summer league tournament, and the first game only increases confidence. I’ll lay the points with the Raptors.
