Match Predict – Handicap (-7) for Raptors
It’s hard to imagine what the home team will put up against. The OKC Thunder has slumped and two defeats in a row prove it. The match against the Raptors does not promise anything good, but there will be a fight, all the more so on the home court.
The Toronto Raptors are moving in the right direction and continue to gain momentum. The team feels they can do better than sixth place in the Eastern Conference. We assume that Nick Nurse’s men will keep up their momentum and put the Thunder in their place.
Total Points – Total Match Points Under 214.5
The home side is not as sharp in attack as the opposition, plus now Shay Gilges-Alexander is in the infirmary. The Raptors are in great form, but away they are betting more on results. In that case, we suggest betting on the under.
Home Side Total Points – Under 100.5
The Thunder have scored more than 100.5 points in only two of their last five matches.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Toronto Raptors
Oklahoma City Thunder:
The Thunder continues to finish penultimate in the Western Conference, meaning that this season is already a failure. The head coach is betting on young players who need more time. Unfortunately, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is injured, so the game is not looking good without the leader.
The Oklahoma City Thunder lost two straight games, as they failed to win the Sacramento Kings (103-113) and lost predictably to the Golden State Warriors (98-110). Mark Daigneault’s men are playing well from time to time, but it all depends on the level of their opponents. They have a game against the Toronto Raptors ahead of them, and you can’t count on an easy ride.
Toronto Raptors:
The Canadian club pays no attention to anyone and simply gets victories. The team has already surged into the play-off zone and will now try to secure a place in the Eastern Conference’s top six.
The Toronto Raptors have won six straight games and are looking to move on. Nick Nurse’s men beat the Charlotte Hornets in their last meeting, but on the road and with confidence (116-101). Pascal Siakam was the main threat to the opposition as he ended up with a double-double. In short, the Raptors are on their way to another victory.
Safe Bets
In four of the last five head-to-head encounters, the game started with an accurate two-point shot. The odds for that outcome are 1.34.
