Golden State WarriorsÂ
The Golden State Warriors have been struggling lately as they’ve lost seven of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting routed by the Pacers in a 108-96 road defeat on Friday. Buddy Hield and Pat Spencer led the team in scoring with 17 points each, Dennis Schroder added 12 points while Gui Santos chipped in with 11 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Warriors shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line. The Warriors got off to a sloppy start and were always a step behind as they just didn’t get enough scoring from their starters. Kyle Anderson scored just eight points while Moses Moody shot just three of 11 for his seven points. The Warriors will take on the Wolves after this game.
Toronto RaptorsÂ
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in dreadful form as they’ve lost 16 of their last 17 games overall. The Raptors will be aiming to put a halt to a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Pistons in a 123-114 road defeat on Saturday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 25 points, Scottie Barnes added 16 points with 12 rebounds and two blocks while Chris Boucher and Bruce Brown chipped in with 14 points apiece. As a team, the Raptors shot just 43 percent from the field and 16 of 38 from the 3-point line. The Raptors poured in 34 points in the second quarter to take the narrow lead into halftime, but they couldn’t maintain that pace in the second half where the Pistons caught fire thanks to Tim Hardaway Jr who drained seven of eight from the 3-point line.

Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Warriors are still shorthanded with Brandin Podziemski still out but they should have Draymond Green back in the lineup, while the Raptors are coming into this one with a full squad. The Warriors have been well below their best lately and their confidence took another gut shot after getting routed by the Pacers on Friday. The Raptors have been the coldest team in the league despite having a healthy roster, so it’s surprising to see such a short line for this one. The Warriors haven’t been impressive lately, but they still have plenty of firepower and should be good enough to get a much-needed win with Green expected to return to the lineup.
