Raptors

Roar with confidence when trusting the claws to deliver

Grade A-: Grizzlies Moneyline (-425)

Ja Morant and the high-flying Grizz, currently riding a three-game winning streak, look set to overpower the struggling Raps, who remain without their starting PF due to an ankle sprain. The Raps are also missing a key SG, further weakening their perimeter defense against a Grizzlies team known to thrive on fast-paced offense. Historically, Jaren Jackson Jr. has posted impressive rebounding and shot-blocking numbers against Toronto, while Dillon Brooks often delivers clutch perimeter scoring when facing the Raps. Both squads are past the halfway point of the season, so every victory shapes playoff positioning—especially for Memphis, who are eyeing a top seed. Given the -425 line for the Bears and a +325 long shot for Toronto, the recommended moneyline bet is on Memphis, graded at an A- for likelihood and a moderate payout due to their favorite status.

Expect a commanding finish north of the border

Grade A-: Grizzlies -10.5 (+105)

Ja Morant is set to lead the Grizzlies, who are riding a three-game winning streak, into battle against the Raptors, who are struggling despite a recent winning streak. The Dino squad has been hampered by an injured SF, while Memphis boasts solid interior defense thanks to their healthy frontcourt. Historically, Jaren Jackson Jr. has feasted on Toronto’s undersized lineup, and Desmond Bane often elevates his scoring when facing the North’s Finest. With both teams well past the halfway mark, the Beale Street Bears have eyes on solidifying a favorable playoff seed, while the Raps need a surge to keep faint postseason hopes alive. Given the spread of Memphis 105 (-10.5) and Toronto -125 (+10.5), the recommended pick is the Grizzlies to cover, graded at a confident A- given their momentum and decent payout.
