Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns Betting Analysis
The Toronto Raptors continue a West coast road trip in Phoenix against the Suns on Monday night from Talking Stick Resort Arena.
The Suns prevailed 128-118 in overtime on the road against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. The Raptors improved to 2-1 on their road trip after pouring it on in the 4th quarter of a 123-105 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
This will be the second and final meeting between these teams as Toronto won 113-104 at home against Phoenix on December 30th. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM EST/6:00 PST from Phoenix, AZ.
Raptors Play Fourth Of Seven On The West Coast
The Toronto Raptors improved to 23-28 on the season after taking over in the 4th quarter and beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. The Raptors had a huge rebounding edge at 45-27 over the Blazers.
Precious Achiuwa led the team in scoring with 27 points along with 13 rebounds for a double-double. Scottie Barnes also recorded a double-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists while Pascal Siakam added 24 points.
All five Toronto starters scored into the double digits. Toronto currently occupies the 12th spot in the Eastern Conference, one game separated from the final play-in spot. The Raps are below average in scoring at 19th with only 112.9 points per game on 45.3% shooting.
They rank 18th in defensive rating and 9th in defensive scoring with 112.3 points allowed per game. OG Anunoby has already been ruled out for this contest with a wrist injury while Dalano Blanton is questionable with a hip injury.
Suns Beat San Antonio in Overtime
The Phoenix Suns got back over .500 at 26-25 with an overtime victory in San Antonio on Saturday. Phoenix had an edge at the charity stripe where they shot 20-26 for 76.9% while the Spurs went only 12-17 for 70.6%.
Chris Paul led the team in scoring with 31 points along with 11 assists and 7 rebounds. De’Andre Ayton added 23 points and 8 rebounds while Mikal Bridges chipped in with 25 points.
The Suns currently occupy the 9th seed in the Western Conference, 8.5 games behind the first place Denver Nuggets and a half game ahead of the 10th seeded Utah Jazz. Phoenix ranks well below average in scoring at 20th with only 112.9 points a game on 46.2% shooting.
Defense is still their calling card where they sit at 9th in defensive rating and 5th in defensive scoring with only 111.6 points allowed per game.
The Suns continue to play without the services of Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (foot). Jae Crowder hasn’t made an appearance yet this season as he continues to deal with personal issues.
Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns Player Prop Prediction
The Phoenix Suns are two point home favorites with a total set at 221. Both teams have been under achievers as the Suns were considered to be contenders who hover around .500 while Toronto was expected to be a playoff team but currently occupy the 12th seed.
Chris Paul has been doing his best to pick up the slack without Devin Booker being involved. CP3 has recorded 11, 10, 11 and 11 in his last four games while averaging 18.3 assist chances in that span.
The Toronto Raptors allow the 8th most assists and Paul had 12 helpers against them on December 30th. The Raps won’t have an answer for the pick and roll with Ayton, so let’s drink the juice on this CP3 over 9.5 assists at -150.
Player Prop Prediction: Chris Paul Over 9.5 Assists -150 DraftKings
