Warriors vs Raptors Clash in Toronto

Stephen Curry and the Warriors come into Toronto on a three-game winning streak, while the Raptors limp into this one amid a five-game home skid and the continued absence of RJ Barrett plus a banged-up Jakob Poeltl. With Golden State’s core of Curry, Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green intact and Toronto leaning heavily on Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley for creation, the talent edge tilts slightly toward the road side despite the Dubs’ 6-11 road mark and the early East Coast matinee tip. Curry’s long-term success against Toronto and Golden State’s top-tier defensive profile suggest they can squeeze out enough half-court offense to justify the favorite tag, but the price bakes in most of that edge and leaves only moderate value on the moneyline.

Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram headline a Raptors attack that has swung wildly from holding Miami to 91 points to surrendering 138 to Washington, but injuries to Barrett and a less-than-healthy Poeltl should nudge them toward slower, more half-court possessions against Golden State’s third-ranked defense. On the other side, Curry’s gravity drives the Warriors’ offense, yet this version of Golden State plays at a middling pace with a more grind-it-out identity, and afternoon East Coast starts have historically dragged scoring for West Coast teams. With both clubs allowing roughly 112 points per game and recent head-to-head meetings hovering right around this total, the combination of defensive strength, travel spot, and shorthanded Toronto scoring depth makes the Under slightly underpriced.

Immanuel Quickley’s pick-and-roll shotmaking, combined with Barnes’ all-purpose creation, gives the Raptors enough offensive resilience to hang around at home even as they stagger through a five-game home losing streak and navigate injuries to Barrett and Poeltl. Golden State’s recent three-game surge and elite defense justify their status as road favorites, but a 6-11 road record, early East Coast tip, and a season-long pattern of relatively tight margins suggest laying 4.5 points with the Dubs carries real downside. Toronto’s length on the wings with Barnes and Ingram has already produced competitive games against this Warriors core, and in a likely lower-possession contest, grabbing multiple possessions with the home dog offers slightly better value than backing Golden State to win by margin.
