The Toronto Raptors look to avoid losing three in a row on the road for the first time since mid-January when they visit the Golden State Warriors in Thursday NBA betting action.
The Raptors are coming off a crushing 129-89 loss in Phoenix on Monday night and remain stalled, five games back of Miami in the race for 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Warriors rolled to a 104-93 win over Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday to improve to 13-2 over their past 15 games and climb above the line into sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Warriors are perched as heavy 14.5-point favourites on the Thursday NBA odds. The Raptors trail as distant +650 underdogs on the NBVA moneyline, and the total is set at 224.5.
Raptors vs. Warriors NBA Betting Odds
Thursday night’s meeting at Chase Center is the second and final date of the season between these clubs. The Raptors claimed a narrow 104-101 win when they hosted the Dubs back on January 13 but have failed to tally consecutive wins while going 4-5 in their past nine meetings with Golden State.
The Raptors return to the Bay Area looking to rekindle an attack that averaged 116.6 points per game during a recent 6-1 run. Toronto scored an average of just 95 points in last weekend’s defeats in Portland and Phoenix, flashing the brutal form that contributed to the club’s dismal 1-19 start on the road this season.
However, the Raptors remain a steady bet on the road after covering the spread in 10 of their past 13. The Warriors have made up some valuable ground in the Western Conference standings during an impressive 15-3 run, fueled in part by a steady 10-1 run against Eastern Conference opponents.
However, the Warriors have been a betting disappointment lately, going just 2-4-1 ATS in their past seven and are just 3-6 ATS in their past nine as double-digit chalk including outright home losses to Brooklyn and Denver.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have given their fans little to cheer about during their current two-game slide, shooting a dismal 38.1 per cent from the floor and blowing first-quarter leads in both of their recent losses. The club could use more production from Scottie Barnes, who has averaged just 16.8 points while converting 36 per cent from the floor over his past five outings.
The club is also feeling the absence of leading scorer RJ Barrett, who is expected to miss a third straight game as he recovers from a recent illness. Gradey Dick is also on the shelf as he recovers from a knee injury that has sidelined him since March 2.
Golden State Warriors
The duo of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler has played a key role in this club’s late-season resurgence. Acquired in a trade deadline deal with the Miami Heat, Butler produced mixed results since his arrival in Golden State, but has steadily rounded into form while averaging 23.5 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists over the past two games. However, he averaged just 18 points, four boards, and 4.3 helpers in three previous appearances against Toronto this season as a member of the Heat.
Curry has found a higher gear since the beginning of February, averaging 28.6 points over his past 20 outings and piled up 26 points, seven boards and seven helpers in the club’s 104-101 loss in Toronto two months ago.
