The Toronto Raptors play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday night. Here’s an Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Toronto Raptors prediction. This article will include an Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Toronto Raptors pick.

Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview 

The Oklahoma City Thunder are starting to heat up again, as they’ve won four of their last five games overall, and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after taking down the red-hot Cavaliers in a 121-113 home win on Sunday. Isaiah Joe led the team with 22 points and five steals, Cason Wallace added 20 points with 10 assists, and Chet Holmgren chipped in with 17 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.

As a team, the Thunder shot 49 percent from the field and an efficient 21 of 41 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 40 points in the first quarter to take an early 23-point lead, but they allowed the Cavaliers back into the contest and didn’t regain control until late in the fourth quarter to secure the unconvincing win at home. 

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in great shape as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall, and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the Bucks in a 122-94 road win on Sunday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 32 points and nine assists, Brandon Ingram added 22 points with six assists, and Sandro Mamukelashvili chipped in with 15 points and four assists off the bench.

As a team, the Raptors shot 47 percent from the field and 16 of 46 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 38 points in the second quarter to take a nine-point lead into halftime, before they dominated the second half by 62-43 to make it a complete blowout win on the road.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Thunder are still missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Aleksej Pokuševski, with Alex Caruso and Chet Holmgren both questionable, while the Raptors are still missing Jakob Poeltl for this contest. The Thunder are still banged up, but they are starting to heat up again, and they looked great in their win over the red-hot Cavaliers on Sunday, while the Raptors will also be quietly confident after smashing the Bucks on Sunday for their sixth win in eight games.

These two squads have already met once this season, with the Raptors beating the Thunder by 103-101 back in December, and I think they can pull off the upset once again in this spot.
