Raptors vs Trail Blazers

The Toronto Raptors are on the west coast to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Raptors-Blazers prediction ...

Toronto is coming off a loss to the Golden State Warriors Friday night and are on a second night of a back-to-back. The Blazers are 17th in the NBA in scoring at 114 per game and allow 113.3. Siakam is the only player that averages north of 20 points per game as he is at a solid 25.1 per game. Portland is falling down a similar path as the Raptors are, but started out the season playing very well. It’s been a season to forget for the Raptors and it’s not even the All-Star break. They sit in last in the division and 12th in the Eastern Conference with a (22-28) record.

The Toronto Raptors continue their west-coast road trip tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland has won each of its past two games by an average of 15 points and doesn’t have to deal with the rest issues Toronto has. It doesn’t help that the Raps will be going up against the world’s hottest shooter, either. We’re going to capitalize on Portland’s rest advantage by backing the Trail Blazers in a couple of ways. The Raptors are 7-16 away from Scotiabank Arena and have only covered the spread in 10 of those contests. The Raps are 5-3 ATS when playing in back-to-backs this season but they’ll also be shorthanded tonight. Trail Blazers over 118.5 points (-120): Toronto has given up 119-plus points in four of its last seven games and in five of its last six on the road.

We go over some of the best betting options for Saturday's matchup between the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland has gone over in the last two games, but is under in three of the last five and seven of the last 12 contests. Toronto is 7-16 on the road, while Portland is 13-10 at home and on a winning streak. The Blazers are 10-6 ATS as a home favorite and 14-9 ATS at home this season. The Raptors are 11th in points per game over the last five contests, while the Blazers rank ninth in the same span. The Raptors have lost four of their last six games, while the Blazers are on a two-game winning streak. Anunoby’s status aside, the Raptors have been underwhelming this entire season and could punt this game entirely on the second night of a back-to-back.
