Many fans of the Toronto Raptors have been relatively pessimistic after several early exits from the NBA playoffs but the squad might be able to turn those fans into believers with a win Saturday. The Raptors will play host to the Golden State Warriors tonight – a team who has beaten Toronto in seven consecutive meetings.
- The Warriors are 17-6-1 ATS in their last 24 games against the Raptors.
- The Warriors are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games with no days off between games.
- The total has gone OVER in 4 of the Warriors' last 5 games against the Raptors.
The Raptors come into this game riding high after dominating the Cleveland Cavaliers 133-99 in their most recent outing. More impressive than anything else in that game was the Raptors scoring depth with seven players scoring in the double-digits including Fred VanVleet who notched a career-high 22 points. VanVleet might be in for another big night if regular starting point guard Kyle Lowry remains out with an injured tailbone.
The Warriors may also be entering their only contest in Canada this season without Steph Curry. The point guard injured his ankle during shootaround Wednesday and has missed Golden State’s last two contests. And though Curry is known for his offense, it has actually been the other side of the court that the Warriors have missed him. In the past two games, backcourt players have scored a combined 145 points vs the Warriors.
