The Toronto Raptors shocked the NBA world by not only standing pat with their roster on trade deadline day, but also filling one of the biggest holes on their…
When it comes to the total, the number hit the board at a high 232 and the early money has come in on the Under, dropping the total to 230 as of Friday afternoon.
Obviously, I’m backing the Raptors to have a high-scoring game, so I’m inclined to back the full game Over as well. Partially due to Utah’s ability on offense and that inconsistent Raptors defense I just mentioned.Article content Toronto was a team that was supposed to be known for its defense, but that hasn’t been the case thus far. The Raps rank 17th in defensive rating, 27th in opponent field goal percentage, and 29th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.
The Jazz offense lost some punch at the deadline, but this is a team that averages 117.5 points per game. Even with a slight dropoff, they should be able to do enough against a shaky Raptors defense to help send this one Over the total. And that’s the way I would lean.The Over is 6-0 in the Jazz’s last six road games and is 5-2 in the Raptors’ last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400.
