Prediction
Our expert pick:
Against the background of Toronto's ongoing struggle with Chicago, Toronto, Washington, Indiana and Orlando for a place in the playoffs following the results of the regular season, a home game with one of the main outsiders of the championship is of paramount importance. The Raptors simply do not have the right to make a mistake in this match. The team leader Pascal Siakam is in good shape. This season he has an average performance of 24.7 points per game, plus, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. Our prediction is for Toronto to win with a handicap (-11.5) of 2.03 points. In the last ten meetings Toronto won five victories. The team in this segment scored an average of 116.5 points per match, allowing their opponents to score 113.8. Similar indicators of "San Antonio" (only one victory in the last ten meetings) look frankly bad. The Spurs averaged 112.5 points on offense and allowed the opposition to score 126.6 points on defense. It seems that after the productive match in Toronto, this indicator of San Antonio will become even worse. Our prediction is over 234.5 points with overtime of 1.91.
