Suns at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 115, Raptors 110
Moneyline
PASS.
Phoenix is the better team here and is hotter than Toronto. The Raptors are much worse than the Suns offensively and only hold opponents to 0.8 points per game less than Phoenix. Look for the star power of Phoenix to be too much for Toronto to handle, especially if Durant is able to suit up. But skip this and bet the spread instead which offers a better value.
Against the spread
BET SUNS -1.5 (-110).
Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games overall and 5-2 ATS in its 7 games during its current win streak. The Suns are also 4-2 ATS in their last 6 matchups with Toronto. Phoenix's offense will be what allows the Suns to cover here as Toronto's offense simply won't be able to keep up given its lack of 3-point shooting.
Over/Under
BET OVER 222.5 (-110).
The Over has been dominant during Phoenix's win streak (6-1). The Over has also hit in 4 of Toronto's last 6 gamesl and is 2-1 in the last 3 Phoenix-Toronto matchups.
The Suns' offense that averages 117.1 PPG and has scored 130 or more in 3 of its last 7 games will prove to be too much for this Toronto defense to handle.
