Raptors vs. Warriors Preview
A bit of trepidation here laying this sort of price with the Warriors, who despite loads of success since Jimmy Butler joined the show, have had a few problems carrying bigger numbers lately, with three straight ATS losses when laying double digits.
We wonder, however, if the Raptors have much left in the tank after a recent surge ended with a thud on Monday in Phoenix.
Toronto also took advantage of a favorable slate in its recent 6-game surge (struggling Orlando, Utah, Philly, and the Wiz — with a loss in the second Washington game as well).
Steph Curry should return tonight after resting in the Milwaukee win on Tuesday, and the Warriors have a score to settle after losing 104-101 in the North back in the pre-Butler days of January 13.
The Under appears to be a better idea, especially with Golden State not coming close to an Over in three straight. Play Raptors-Warriors Under.
Best Bet: Under 225.5 (-110)
Raptors vs. Warriors Betting Predictions
By Bill Marzano
Make no mistakes about it, this is a boatload of points to be giving any NBA team, but I do expect the Warriors to dominate this game from start to finish.
The Warriors are 15-3 since acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Heat on February 6. The Warriors a completely different team with Butler on the court, they score more points per game and averaging six points less per contest as well. Butler gives the Warriors another ball handler when Curry takes a rest, not to mention his abilities on both ends of the court.
The Raptors are coming off a horrible 40-point loss to the Suns and could once again be without several key starters on offense. The Raptors are 8-25 on the road and won the only meeting of the season between these teams back on January 13 in Toronto by a score of 104-101.
Tonight, I think we'll see the Warriors get revenge and crush Toronto.
Pick: Warriors -14 (-110)
