Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
The Toronto Raptors never really had a chance to prove themselves last season after a string of injuries in preseason really messed up their chances of any continuity. Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickly and RJ Barrett all missing significant time which opened the door for players like Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji to earn extended minutes throughout the season. The Raptors ended with just 30 wins for the season which was only good enough for the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference, but there were some bright spots as they were above .500 for the second half of the season and improved drastically on the defensive end following the All-Star break. RJ Barrett led the team in scoring with averages of 21.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, Scottie Barnes averaged 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while Immanuel Quickley averaged 17.1 points and 5.8 assists per game. As a team, the Raptors scored 110.9 points per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 34.8 percent from the 3-point line but we should expect those numbers to improve with the newly acquired Brandon Ingram back on the court for his new club this season.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks will be hoping to take the next step in their development after winning just 40 games last season to finish with the 8th seed before losing in the Play-In Tournament. The Hawks’ management were very busy in the offseason as they shipped away Clint Capela, Caris LeVert, Terance Mann, Larry Nance Jr and Georges Niang while acquiring Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard and Kristaps Porzingis to give Trae Young the best supporting cast he has had to date. Trae Young led the team with averages of 24.2 points and 11.6 assists per game, Jalen Johnson was having a breakout season with averages of 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in the 36 games he played while Dyson Daniels averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. As a team, the Hawks scored 118.2 points per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from the 3-point line. Overall, the Hawks look like they are set for a deep playoff run this season, especially with teams like the Pacers and the Celtics both weakened by significant injuries to key players, leaving the East wide open.
Toronto v Atlanta Free Prediction
The Hawks are expected to have a full squad to kick off their campaign, while, the Raptors should be slightly shorthanded with Ja’Kobe Walker and Collin Murray-Boyles both ruled out. You couldn’t trust either team with any confidence last season, but things have changed for the Hawks this time round and I think they can hit the ground running with a solid win and cover at home behind big games from Young and Porzingis who could be a great one-two punch in the league this season. The line is reasonable for this matchup, so I am sticking with the Hawks to take care of business and earn the win and cover in front of their home fans.
