The Toronto Raptors needed some longer arms after getting bullied by the New Orleans Pelicans in their last game, but they’ll look to rebound when they travel…
Try PointsBet’s “Request Your Bet” feature — You name it, they’ll price it.This line opened with the Nets as 1.5-point home chalk, and they have seen the early action, moving the number up as high as 2.5 depending on the book. That is showing plenty of respect to this Raptors team, and I think that’s for a few reasons.
Things are looking up for the Raptors. The team was getting healthy after a rash of early-season injuries, with none being more important than the return of Pascal Siakam. In Spicy P’s return to the court, the team promptly went out and kicked Cleveland’s butts.Article content However, in their last game, they got trounced by New Orleans. The Pelicans are exactly the type of team that can give the Raptors problems. They’re big and physical and are one of the few teams that can outwork Toronto on the boards.
But that shouldn’t be the case against the Nets. As noted, Brooklyn is an OK, not great defensive team, but it really struggles on the boards. They are also in the bottom half of the NBA when it comes to turnover rate. That’s not great against a Raptors team that leads the NBA steals by a wide margin.
That said, now that things have settled down around the Nets, they have started to play better. They have won three in a row, even if it has been against mediocre-at-best competition. But they weren’t winning at all earlier in the season, so that’s an improvement.Article content
