What to know
The Warriors and Raptors are 5-5 against each other since June 2019, but not for long. The Golden State Warriors will remain on the road on Monday to face the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 pm ET at Scotiabank Arena. Things are looking good for BDOCCBSGame, who are expected to take an easy win in their next contest.
The Warriors head into this one after bookmakers set last week’s low over/under at 222.5, but even that ended up being too high. They took a 108-96 hit in the loss column at the hands of the Pacers on Friday. Unfortunately, the loss continues a disappointing trend for Golden State in their matchups with Indiana: They’ve already lost three in a row.
Meanwhile, the Raptors’ recent slump got a little tougher on Saturday after their fifth straight loss. They fell 123-114 to the Pistons.
Although they lost, the Raptors broke the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. They easily outscored their opponents in that department, as the Pistons only knocked down seven.
Golden State’s loss dropped its record to 19-19. As for Toronto, their loss dropped their record to 8-31.
Keep an eye on the goal in Monday’s matchup: The Warriors have made hitting deep shots look easy this season, having averaged 15 three-pointers per game. However, it’s a different story for the Raptors, as they have averaged just 11.5. Given the Warriors’ considerable advantage in that area, the Raptors will need to find a way to close that gap.
The Warriors beat the Raptors in their previous meeting in March 2024 by a score of 120-105. Will the Warriors repeat their success or do the Raptors have a better game plan this time? We will know very soon.
