Spurs vs Raptors

Scottie Barnes continues to anchor the Toronto Raptors’ offense despite their current three-game slide, while the San Antonio Spurs, losers of two straight, bring a balanced lineup that’s largely healthy except for a sidelined swingman who has been nursing a lingering knee problem. Historically, the Spurs (29-39) have found success against struggling Eastern Conference squads, and they’ll look to capitalize on a Raptors (24-45) team that faces depth challenges and has dropped several recent matchups at home. Even with key absences, both sides have enough offensive firepower to push this total above the 234.5 line, earning this wager a respectable B+ grade for its moderate payout and reasonably strong likelihood of hitting.

Keldon Johnson continues to anchor San Antonio’s offense, despite the Spurs’ current three-game slide that has pushed them to 29-39 on the season. In contrast, the Raptors (24-45) recently snapped out of their funk with a two-game winning streak yet face questions around OG Anunoby’s availability, as he remains day-to-day heading into this matchup. Historically, the Spurs have found success north of the border, winning four of their last five showdowns in Toronto. With those details in mind, expect San Antonio to cover their +1 spread, earning a B+ grade for its balanced probability of success and moderate financial upside.
