The Phoenix Suns and the Toronto Raptors duke it out at the Scotiabank Arena on Friday night. Here’s a Phoenix Suns vs. Toronto Raptors prediction. This article will include a Phoenix Suns vs. Toronto Raptors pick.
Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have been in great shape, as they’ve won six of their last seven games overall and they will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after routing the Pacers in a 123-108 road win last night. Devin Booker led the team with 43 points, seven rebounds and five assists; Jalen Green added 36 points with four assists, while Royce O’Neale chipped in with 15 points.
As a team, the Suns shot 52 percent from the field and 13 of 32 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 67 points in the first half to take the narrow lead, but they really didn’t have full control of the contest until the fourth quarter, where they used a crucial 12-2 run to put the game to bed early.
Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in a real slump lately, as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting routed by the Pelicans in a 122-111 road defeat on Wednesday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 25 points on eight of 14 shooting, Brandon Ingram added 22 points with six rebounds, five assists and four steals, while RJ Barrett chipped in with 16 points.
As a team, the Raptors shot 41 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and kept pace with the Pelicans in a tightly contested first half, but they really let themselves down in the third quarter, where they allowed the Pelicans to go on a pivotal 22-5 run to have the Raptors trailing by 18 points.

Phoenix Suns vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Suns have ruled out Mark Williams and Dillon Brooks again, with Grayson Allen listed as questionable, while the Raptors have ruled out Collin Murray-Boyles, with Scottie Barnes listed as questionable. It’s always tough playing the second game of a back-to-back set, but the Suns are clearly the hotter team in this matchup and I think they get the job done behind big games from Booker and Green, who have been in red-hot form lately.
I get why the Raptors are favorites at home, but they’ve gone cold recently and I don’t think the home crowd will be enough to lift them in this contest.
