Trail Blazers vs Raptors Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
TOR Raptors -5.0(-110)

With just 1 win in 4 games and back-to-back defeats at home, the Portland Trail Blazers embark on a 5-game road trip starting on Tuesday in Toronto. Among other things, injuries have slowed down the Blazers following a somewhat decent start to the season. Scoot Henderson and Jrue Holiday are the two most notable absentees, the backcourt depth has taken a hit with those two out of the line-up. Deni Avdija is enjoying a career year from an individual standpoint, but in order for him to take the next level he must figure out how to convert his 25.8 points per game into wins.

Toronto is also on a run of back-to-back losses, pretty disappointing for a team that was on a 9-game win streak before those two games against Charlotte and New York. Coming back home should do the Raptors well, as they’re 9-2 SU in games at the Scotiabank Arena this season. Defensively only 3 teams in the league have a better rating in home games than the Raptors do, this team is also 7th in Net Rating in those games. We also have to highlight their efficiency from three-point land in those games, where they rank 3rd in the league behind only the Rockets and Bucks.

Despite the two defeats vs Charlotte and New York I am not yet ready to give up on the Raptors. They’re currently on a 7-game home win streak and 10-3 SU in games where they’re the favorites. Portland’s got just 2 wins in 9 games overall and a losing record in away games. Until Holiday and Henderson are back I am not touching them. Back the Raptors.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Toronto Raptors Predictions: Raptors -5 is available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
